These WebQuests were created by the Bessie B. Moore Center for Economic
Education with an Excellence in Economic Education grant from the National
Council on Economic Education through the United States Department of Education
Office of Innovation and Improvement. The Sam M. Walton College of Business has
terrific technology support staff as well as state-of-the-art equipment.
Arkansas has an excellent pool of creative economic educators. The Moore Center
utilized these resources to create a team of teachers who created the WebQuests
on this site. The Moore Center is an outreach program for educators. It is
sponsored by the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of
Arkansas.
These economic education WebQuests were created for use by teachers around
the globe who want to use the Internet and its world wide web of resources to
facilitate learning of economics in their classes. WebQuests are available for
students in grades four through twelve. These WebQuests are designed to be
approximately a week in length. In a couple of cases the secondary teachers
require more in-depth research that will take more than a week. They can be
completed without much preparation by the teacher. Scoring guidelines or
expectations have been provided when appropriate. Please provide feedback to us
as you use these instructional materials.
Special thanks go to the selected teachers who poured hours of creativity and
professional expertise into this project. Joey Huston, technology specialist and
EconomicsAmerica coordinator, helped Dr. Rita Littrell with the technology
component of the class. The Arkansas Council on Economic Education helped
support the EconoTech project in order to make it a state-wide initiative.
