Hello Everyone,
I have taken a giant technical leap forward by creating a blog for myself! But hey, that's what college is all about, getting out of your comfort zone and embarking on new adventures.
And now a little about me. I am currently a senior Social Science Major with aspirations of graduating in May 2009. I held off taking an economics class because I was uncomfortable with the subject. I can honestly say that after four weeks in our class, I am feeling more confident about understanding economics and more importantly, about teaching economics. I have already incorporated the core concept of economics being about choices into to the high school classroom I work in at El Capitan, in Lakeside. The majority of my students are low income so making choices is an important part of their lives and their family's lives. What I want them to realize is that their everyday choices and opportunity costs is economics. I also am excited about incorporating the lesson plan using lyrics and economic concepts.
See you in class.
