Twitter: Economics Teaching in a Digital Age

I will be updating this blog entry on an occasional basis. In it I will flag up some economists who are teaching in schools and colleges and who are generating some interesting and innovative ideas in using digital learning tools in delivering courses. Here is my initial selection

Andrew McCarthy (Singapore, IB Teacher) - Andrew’s excellent blog can be found here

Kevin Hinde (Durham University) - Kevin’s award winning web site can be found here

Jason Welkers website is a great example of eLearning in Economics as well

Please do contact me with other colleagues who are working in this field and I will add them to the directory.
