Our good friend, Tim Dye, an Economics teacher at Perry Meridian High School in Indianapolis, Indiana will be presenting this VIRTUAL webinar and sharing his expertise with incorporating economics to the EL population. This webinar will demonstrate a new activity using arts and crafts to teach about productivity and specialization. He will show how to adapt that activity to illustrate comparative and absolute advantage and gains from trade. He will cover ways to adapt existing “greatest hits” like the Econoland simulation and the market activity to include current economic trends.
