Tch-Econers,
If you are attending the NYC ASSA meetings please look in at a session on
teaching techniques that will include presentations by several
contributors to this list. It will be a poster session called
Teaching Techniques That Promote Active Learning. Unlike nearly every
other ASSA session--but much more like sessions at natural science
meetings--there will be a dozen simultaneous posters presentations in the
room. We'll circulate, look at the posters, and talk with presenters
rather than listen to sequential papers.
The time is: January 4 at 2:30 PM. Room to be announced in the
regular program.
Presenters are:
1. "Online experiments in principles of
economics" Marcelo Clerici-Arias, Stanford University
2. "The Island Economy," Robert Francis, Shoreline
Community College
3. "Microeconomic Coupons," Rick Fenner, Utica
College
4. "Interactive use of computers in the classroom," E.B.
Gendel, Woodbury University
5. "Video Instruction in Principles of Microeconomics,"
Frank Maddox, Emory University
6. "The Jigsaw Reading," Victor Matheson, Lake
Forest College
7. "Group Skit Activity in Introductory
Economics," Robby Moore, Occidental College
8. "Thinking Like an Economist: Using a conceptual matrix to
organize a course in the history of economic thought," Dean
Peterson and John Bean, Seattle University
9. "Multimedia and Economics," Robert Rycroft, Mary
Washington College
10. "Promoting Active-Student Learning Using the World Wide
Web in Economics Courses," Scott Simkins, North Carolina A&T
State University
