To be able to visualize the workings of an economy can significantly facilitate students understanding. After trying different white board drawings in the last years, I was impressed by the impact of interactive simulations on students' attention and understanding of different economic concepts.

The first time I was introduced to research related to stock flow consistent and agent based models I was impressed with how interesting it can be to observe the effects of shocks in an economic model, that to make you wonder about the interconnections present in an economic system. When using sheets in the classroom I was glad to see the same interest popping up in my students eyes.

Teaching economics at an introductory level, I concentrate my efforts on presenting to my students a clear visualization of general economic concepts.

In this website you will find links to google sheets where I have built simple equations and graphs to represent economic concepts. Feel free to make yourself a copy to use them during classrooms, to change parameters in front of your audience to present the different workings and discuss different policies. Do not forget to send your students the link so they can also play around with them for a deeper understanding. After doing that, you can continue your class based on slides supports that contain the graphs generated in the spreadsheet to clearly illustrate the workings of a given economic concept. I am sure your students will appreciate this additional visual support during discussions, and they will keep these images in their memories when thinking about the subject. As a teacher, you will also appreciate the scaffolding brought by the process.

Try some of the graphic presentations of economic concepts presented in this website and let me know the impact it had on your students. I will be continuously adding files in this site. Please fell free to give me suggestions on other concepts and comments on the files added.
