1) Study.com - Circular Flow of Economic Activity

This post was updated in the first part of 2018 and is consistently commented on by teachers and students
this year. This resource is relevant because of the specific focus to the Circular Flow Model and after an
explanation even provides an example along with an assessment. The author, Jon Nash, is a teacher and a
curriculum consultant for the AP Macroeconomics Board. The purpose of the resource is to help both
students and teachers understand this model and has been viewed thousands of times by each.

2) Economicshelp.org
Tejvan Pettinger is a contributing author to this website and will answer submitted questions regarding
various topics in Economics. He answered a question about explaining the circular flow in simple terms
and link it back to everyday life. Tejvan Pettinger is a published Economics author and also a college
professor. Although the question is asked in a personal tone, the answer is provided free of emotion and
is accurate from personal knowledge and provides key details as other sources.

3) Reffonomics.com
The website reffonomics.com is owned and operated by Steven Reff, an Economics lecturer at the
University of Arizona. His site provides an overview of various economic concepts and includes
interactives for students to learn. I have used his website before in my economics classes and have not
come across information that I would call biased or that has personal feelings included with the content.

4) stlouisfed.org
The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis has created a free interactive course for students, teachers and
anyone else that would like to learn more about not only the Federal Reserve system, but Economics in
general. Their publications have received numerous educational awards, but most importantly for this
resource they were awarded the 2018 Excellence in Financial Literacy Education Award. Additionally,
several awards have been earned from the National Association of Economic Educators giving them
credibility and authority in this content area.

5) Thought Co.
This Thought Co resource was published in October of 2017 by Jodi Beggs. The purpose is to explain the
Circular Flow Diagram and how product and factor markets fit into it. Jodi Beggs is an Economics
professor and has received the Harvard University Certificate of Distinction for teaching Economics.

I selected Symbaloo because I have used this tool before in my graduate school classes and have found it
easy to use and organize. I have even begun using it personally to help organize all of the bookmarking
madness that was going on in my browser. I found it very easy to move and edit the tiles in Symbaloo.
The customization of the tiles allowed me to upload my own image or use preselected tiles so that they
could be easily identified. This tool could be used for my students because it gives me the ability to
organize several different resources and categorize them by topic. This will give my students numerous
options to explore content and not limit them to traditional classroom lecture or PowerPoint.
