This document discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in economics teaching, including PowerPoint, Excel, educational animations and graphics, and online video tutorials. PowerPoint makes classes more interesting by allowing graphs and diagrams to be presented in engaging ways. Excel enables easy calculation and visualization of economic concepts like total product, average product, and marginal product. Educational animations and graphics help explain complicated economic diagrams. Online video tutorials, especially on YouTube, are also useful resources for economics learning. The document argues that these ICT tools allow students to more easily understand difficult economic concepts and theories.

4. INTRODUCTION
Computer applications like graphics software’s ,
online videos ,excel ,PowerPoint ,e learning materials
etc have important role in the economics teaching and
learning processes but still most of the teachers are
using the conventional methods through this modern
methods technological natives (students) can
understand complicated economics concepts and
theories easily.

5. POWER POINT
Power point is very useful application software
in economics teaching just like any other
subjects
 it makes class room more interesting and
joyful.
 it makes graphs and diagrams more
interesting
It makes economic tables more interesting
and easy to understand
Examples-

6. RELATION BETWEEN TP AND MP
• TP increases at increasing rate as long as MP rises
• TP increases at diminishing rate when MP falls but positive
• When MP is zero TP attain its maximum level.
• TP starts to decline when MP becomes negative.

8. Excel
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program that originally competed with the dominant
Lotus 1-2-3, but eventually outsold it. It is available for the Windows and Mac
platforms
Excel can use to do different mathematical functions and graphs related to
economics very easily
For example :
Total product
Average product
Marginal product
 Total cost
Average cost
Marginal cost
Total revenue
 average revenue
Marginal revenue
Total fixed cost
Total variable cost
MPC
AVC
MPS

9. Educational Animations and
Graphics
Educational animations are animations produced for the
specific purpose of fostering learning.
Graphics are the representation and manipulation of
image data by a computer with help from specialized
software and hardware.
the educational animations and graphics are very
useful computer tools in the economics teaching and
learning complicated economics diagrams can easily explain
with animations and graphics
Example :

11. Online Video Tutorials
In recent times the online video tutorials also very useful one
in economics Learning and teaching especially YouTube.
YouTube is a video-sharing website, created by three
former PayPal employees in February 2005, on which users
can upload, view and share videos. The company is based in
San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video and
HTML5 technology to display a wide variety of user-generated
video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music
videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and
short original videos.
