Brainstorm - Financial Literacy

Jan Brosnahan
I teach 7-12 business classes.  The seniors are required to take a 9 week financial literacy course that I teach.  It's always interesting to hear what they think financial literacy is and why we need to know it.  I use Internet video course from Everfi that covers various modules from savings to investing.  I also supplement those modules with various items from the Internet, including a program called Take Charge Today.  The Internet is a great tool to use to bring financial literacy into their realm of understanding.  That senior year always goes fast and those students will be out on their own and need these topics to help them make sound financial decisions.
