Internet Resources for Teachers of Economics in Secondary Schools Robert Dixon, an economics professor at the University of Melbourne, has compiled a comprehensive guide to teaching economics in secondary schools. The lessons center on a story about a little girl named Nikki who visits an imaginary amusement park. Nikki goes up in an unplanned balloon ride that gives her, and the students, different views of the park. Seven lessons investigate the concepts of understanding and reading maps. The Teacher Guide describes each lesson and provides a list of student handouts that can be downloaded and reproduced.
