As a teacher of senior secondary students in Australia, and International Baccalaureate Economics, I have been excited by the potential of the Internet as an educational medium.
This CD ROM has three major sections.
The first section contains interactive exercises and background readings on Year 12 and 11 Economics.
The second part is a selection of materials on Development Economics, and the third is a detailed focus on Indonesia, its economy and people.
