Prepare students for the new Innovation & Gig Economy!
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is all over the front pages nowadays. And it should be; companies are diverting billions of dollars to A.I. research. What will the effect of this be on the economy? What will be the effect on jobs? And what are the implications for education? This session will equip you to teach your students what they need to thrive in the decades to come.
In this lesson, we focus the effects of people’s choices on other people and the physical environment. This includes all forms of pollution, including carbon emissions. By analyzing the outcomes of various approaches to solving environmental problems, students will consider solutions to the question “what can society do if someone’s behavior is putting a burden on others?”
Join us for two days of in-person active learning and two weeks of asynchronous learning. Free curriculum, delicious food, and wonderful new colleagues are a part of this comprehensive course on teaching economics.
