Description
Become familiar with Marginal Revolution University (MRU) as a resource, complete with practice questions and EdPuzzle videos — a list of economics videos aligned with CEE’s Voluntary National Content Standards in Economics.
Other MRU resources are searchable by online courses, series, topics and types including lesson plans, assignments, assessments, games, activities and an extensive video-based dictionary. All are easily adaptable for a variety of learning management systems for online/hybrid/in-person instruction.
Participants will be given the opportunity to sign-up for high school resources updates like EconInBox or join MRU’s community page. As a bonus, receive a free 5-pack of economics-themed Zoom backgrounds for your virtual classes.
Best-practices for effective video-based instruction will be reviewed.
