The Debt Quake in the Eurozone

visualisation of European debt crisis

This static image is simple, well designed and focuses on one key issue, public debt as a percentage of GDP in 2000 and 2010.

You could use this type of image as the backbone for a lecture, or series of lectures.   It could also be the starting point for a range of problems and exercises.

Mint.com also has an education page.  It’s aimed at secondary students but the structure of the lesson plans is worth a look.
