Khan Academy - Exhange Rates

Jim Riley

26th September 2012

The Khan Academy is a cracking wesbite that is a great trick to have up your sleeve, especially when teaching Exchange Rates or Trade. Whether you are teaching IB International Economics or OCR Global, this resource is a helpful tool and can allow some extension of your brighter students. Although a lot of what is on here doesn't actually appear on the AL or IB spec, it does give students a broader understanding of these topics - so best to use sparingly incase you confuse (or frighten) your weaker students. It does give some helpful information on micro and macro topics but again, not all of what is on here is needed for AS or A2 in the UK so I would suggest you are selective with what you use.
