Students will increase their economic/geographic knowledge/skills, adding breadth and depth to their personal mental maps. They will practice inquiry-learning and problem solving strategies using a variety of graphic representations, resources, and technologies so that they will be able to plan/teach effective, engaging economic-geography lessons.
