In this webinar teachers will be able to:

Description
This webinar will demonstrate a new activity using arts and crafts to teach about productivity and specialization. We will show how to adapt that activity to illustrate comparative and absolute advantage and gains from trade. We will cover ways to adapt existing “greatest hits” like the econoland simulation and the market activity to include current economic trends. We will conclude by demonstrating a tool you can use to cultivate and maintain your own economic media library to use with your students.
