Economics Matrix Unloaded!

Shani Hartley has a dynamic and innovative approach to teaching not just Economics but also Business Studies, Commerce and Society & Culture in her teaching job in Australia. A prolific and hugely positive user of Twitter, Shani tweets on a great range of issues and her blog “Harts on Fire” is refreshingly honest, engaging and full of useful and stimulating teaching ideas. This week she has posted a revision matrix for her economics students as they approach their HSC economics papers. It is available here. The idea is to produce an economic policy / multiple intelligences / Blooms matrix for HSC revision and many colleagues here in the UK might draw on some of the suggestions here and feel inspired to try out some of them in their own teaching! You can follow Shani by going to her twitter page right here!
