This article is not specifically about Greece, but I think it gets to the heart of the problem. This is as much a political crisis as an economic one. The Greece sovereign debt crisis is likely to pass, but the underling flaws in the Eurozone paradigm nearly guarantee future discord.

This has a nice encyclopedia and some good acticles for high school students. Of course there is a libertarian Cato-like bias. But very useful for basic concepts. Resources for high school students on the left side.

I used this in an Econ lab in the past month with non-IB students, to research GDP and the nature of different countries markets. Good resource.

CIA fact book helps in providing reference for lesson plan. For the Development chapter I generally use various growth indicator from this book. An easy access to the reliable resources for comparative analysis.

Personally, I think that a presentation (it is not a lesson) like the one that I watched may do more arm than good, if watched by the students. Watching someone presenting a topic in front of a camera does not necessarily mean students may benefit from it.... au contraire... I strongly believe the activities are more effective than watching... Is it possible that learning-by-doing is become out of fashion?...

There are two video collections that follow this style of presentation - this and the videos of PAJ Holden. My students loved them both. I used to use this to validate my teaching (!) and to summarise what I had taught. For some reason my students believed me more if another person said the same thing - I don't know why! My students wanted me to do the same thing.

i watched the videos great in content theoretically fantastic.Personally i showed the videos to my student some of them fall sleep in the class. They complained there is very less dynamism boring if watch more. They like me more to work on board and drawing the graph and diagram from a scratch. What you think as a teacher we should still show these lectures in the class?

Bipin... but if THEY say it is boring, you should challenge them and say "well if it is boring, then you should shoot a video for sleeping-prone students, something exciting... [ehy! rated PG of course], but still, something to catch the attention with examples, a story,...etc...

Hi Bipin....I understand your experience...it's happened with me once or twice...I guess it is because of the difference between the knowledge base between the teacher and the students. We need to come down to their level and think what might interest them...I know its difficult though.

I like using videos if it can supplement my teaching. Clips seem to work well. I've never seen her before however. Love the double entendre though! :)

Shoot, most of the videos are not available for my region!!! but the "graphic" section of the front page is so funny!!! Love the content. About modeling and economics: 95% of the time, absolutely fine (Micro 100% of the time) but for the theory of money-value and this things (like the original Keynes)... mmmmh not so sure....
