By working through the activities in this course, I felt it was a great refresher on what I need to focus my attention on in my classes - particularly credit and avoiding bad debt. I teach middle school 21st Century Skills and high school Economics. In both classes I focus a lot of attention on personal finance and how students can be responsible with their money to prepare for a successful future. One activity from the course I plan to use in the classroom with my middle school students is from the following link:
