Virtual Economics 3.0 CD-ROM
Virtual Economics®: Version 3.0 CD-ROM is designed to be used by K-12 teachers as a refresher in basic economic concepts as well as a comprehensive library of economic lessons that can be infused into the existing curriculum. The CD includes over 1,200 printable lessons; the lessons have been correlated to state content standards.
The Virtual Economics CD-ROM has proven to be a very useful resource tool to enhance the social studies, math, language arts and science curricula. Each teacher completing the training will receive a complimentary copy of the new VE 3.0 CD-ROM ($99.50 value), while supplies last. Teachers are limited to one complementary copy.
