This workshop explores the use of the Web for instructional purposes in economics. Participants should be comfortable using computers, but no experience with the world wide web is necessary. Teachers of all grade levels are welcome. Most of the concepts covered meet the new Illinois Social Studies Standards in Economics. One hour graduate credit is available from the Economics Department of Illinois State for those who complete additional work after the workshop.
Advanced registration is required.
Registration is limited to 20 participants. Registration deadline is Mon. 22 March at noon. In the past few years, environmental problems have been a major topic of concern. Issues such as protecting endangered species, recycling, and resource depletion are featured on television, in newspapers, and in movies.
