Workshops : Workshop Leader's Guide

The purpose of this online guide is to help state Councils on Economic Education and university Centers for Economic Education to provide professional development for teachers so they can effectively use Virtual Economics 3.0 in their classrooms. But the materials here also are useful to teachers. For example, there is a PowerPoint presentation ready to show you the highlights of Virtual Economics 3.0.

Check it out. There's some good stuff here.

The entire guide is available in PDF format, or you can download the individual sections of the guide in PDF and/or Word formats using the links from the table of contents.
