We heard about this from the LA County Office of Education -- it sounds like something many might utilize. If you do complete the 1 hour training and then get the package, please do post a review of it.

Virtual Economics
Complimentary Copy

Virtual Economics contains lesson plans for teaching economics and/or personal finance at any grade level K-12. The Virtual Economics®: Version 3.0 CD-ROM is an interactive tool that helps you understand the most important concepts in economics and personal finance and find the right lessons to teach them at your grade level. Available to you at no money cost.

Through a grant from State Farm Insurance Companies, the (National) Council on Economic Education has placed all of its materials (over $10,000 worth) on one CD ROM. The CD-ROM allows you to search a database of over 1,200 lessons by grade level, concept, Voluntary National Content Standard in Economics or California economics standards. Then view and print the lessons you want. The CD-ROM also contains multimedia explanations for 51 key economic concepts and a glossary with over 500 economics terms and definitions.

The CD-ROM is available to all California teachers at no money cost. Teachers who go through a one hour online training session will receive a complimentary copy of the CD-ROM. For instructions to register for the training session, contact Bernard Mauricia, Program Director, California Council on Economic Education at [email protected]. Put the phrase, Virtual Economics in the subject line.
