Using TARSIA to create classroom resources

 I've noticed recently that quite a few colleagues are using the free software program TARSIA to create engaging classroom activities for their economics students. indeed TARSIA-inspired resources are likely to feature in the autumn series of WOW Economics events that are fast filling up - details here.
 TARSIA is quick to download and intuitive to use, you will be up and running in just a few minutes. Here is one that I have put together for my AS macro group covering some of the concepts covered in the first two weeks of the course. One colleague at another school tweeted to me "Just done my own version - looks great. Prints off on A4 but I've photocopied up to A3 and laminate - it looks ace!"
 If you have a chance, download TARSIA and give it a go!
