Summer Lab School

My initial question for my summer lab/technology experience was:

Can I enhance my students' learning by incorporating more economic analogies and interactive graphs into my curriculum and lessons.

In my effort to transform the traditional research paper assignment into a collaborative and innovative endeavor, my question changed. My question became:

Will using a different medium (other than a research paper) enhance my students' learning and increase their awareness and appreciation of their chosen topics?

It's clear that your extensive use of technology provides the students a different relationship and way of interacting with the subject matter. Has all the work you've put into this summer effected your relationship with the material? Has your own understanding of Economics been altered? (Perhaps you've changed your mind on which examples to use, which topics get more time in class, or sequencing of lesson plans?)
