Created by
Computer Master
This fun hands-on activity will allow students to create a country and then participate in an international trading session with their classmates. Students will then calculate the balance of trade, balance of payments and decide on countries to have tariffs, embargos and more. The file is a Word document, but the assignment is designed as a Google Doc so that students can imbed drawings. I included a link to the Google Doc in the Word document.

Experience

I am in my 7th year of teaching. The first 3 were spent teaching a writing workshop course along with honor's English. For the last three years, I have been teaching computer applications. This Apps course, as I call it, is primarily used to teach the Microsoft Office applications Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint and MovieMaker. Prior to teaching, I spent 6 years in the advertising industry both on the creative and account sides.

Teaching style

My philosophy is that if you make the work interesting, the students will want to do it. Therefore, I strive to make all my projects applicable to the students' lives and be based around subjects they might not normally get to study in school. Subjects like sports, pop culture, music and teen/tween life tend to get the best results.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I was published in the Reading (PA) Eagle newspaper as an outstanding educator.
