EconLib: Special Edition YOUR Source for Economics Online "No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected." ~Julius Caesar It seems we've entered a whole new age in just the last couple of weeks. Many teachers- and, necessarily, students- have been thrust into online education. This impacts just about everyone we know. For over two decades, Econlib has been committed to bringing you the best economics on the web, and our commitment remains as strong as ever. It is our sincere hope that this special e-newsletter can provide some resources to help bridge the gap between live and online learning. Over the last week, we've shared some tips and thoughts on teaching online: Alice Temnick, On Transitioning to Online Teaching Steven Horwitz, Online Learning: Thoughts on Creating Video Lectures Sarah Skwire, Toilet Paper Wars Bryan Caplan: Emergency Homeschooling: A How-To Guide Below we highlight some of the resources we hope are most useful.

EconTalk Extras EconTalk Extras are our follow-ups to our weekly podcasts, designed with conversation in mind. Comments on each Extra are open for 30 days (as with EconLog and EconTalk).
