Once again I have updated the series of 20 study guides covering every unit from the AP and IB Economics syllabus. The latest free versions of my study guides for students include for the first time hyperlinks to blog posts relating to every topic in the course, placed throughout the study guides, providing students with easy to follow links to articles connecting the concepts they study to events going on in the real world. Through the blog, which isconstantly updated with current topics, students can participate in a global discussion among Econ students through comments, as well as see how the graphs and concepts they study can be applied to a real world context.

Student have been downloading my free study guides for over two years, and even college students have benefited from the resources here. Just last week I received the following email from a former AP Econ student now studying business at Boston University:

Hey Mr. Welker, just wanted to let you know that I’m retaking economics for my business requirements… The pace is SO FAST! But I’m using your wikinomics as a study tool. It’s really helpful. In fact, all your former students here at BU admit that they use your study guides all the time because they’re often times better than the resources that BU gives us. I guess that’s something you can share to your current econ students!

For teachers, lecture notes in either SMART Notebook or PowerPoint format are available for purchase. Several teachers have already purchased my presentations and begun using them in their own classes. When you purchase a unit, it is yours to edit, re-format, enhance, and re-arrange anyway you wish.

Check out the latest versions of the free study guides and browse the catalog of unit lecture notes available for purchase in PowerPoint or Notebook format. If you like what you see, direct your students to my site, and please leave a comment at the bottom of the page! Enjoy!
