CEE Online Classes

If you are looking for lesson plans, many of which can be taught in a US History class, you need look no further than the online CEE classes. These webinars You have to register for the classes. I am looking at the "mini-economy" in my classroom. I always have liked to idea of making my classroom into a functioning mini-economy to be able to illustrate all of the topics we cover in class. There are a number of webinars to choose from, so pick the best one for what you do. 

Everyday Economics - Money

I know I have posted about the resources from the Federal Reserve, but this one about money might be my favorite. My students struggle with the concept of the value of money and from where the value is derived. In addition, this can be pared down to middle school and ramped up to AP and the money multiplier. Explore the whole page, but this lesson on money is a keeper.  

Economics in One Day

I love the courses that the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) offers. This one looks like a great one. From those whose principals have asked them to teach economics, a course you may have never taken in your life, from those who have taught economics for years, this class looks like it will be helpful. It is a self-pacing class so no need to have to set aside a full day to take the course.
