Class Experience
In this 4-week flex course, students will use Nearpod to learn through interactive activities about thinking about money, earning money, increasing money, and protecting money. This course will be filled with hands-on learning! My course is a great way to allow students to learn how to manage their money! This course will include lots of interactive activities. I'm a firm believer in creating engaging learning experiences. I'm excited to begin a journey of discovering money management with your learner! Students will be able to interact with each other on the Outschool platform. Students will work together to create a financial plan. This is a FLEX course, which means that there are no live meetings, but I will still be interacting frequently with students electronically and ask that they interact with each other as they are comfortable. We will interact using the classroom page and using Nearpod, a collaboration website that is fun, easy to use, and requires no email login information. A Nearpod will be provided every week with my voice as an audio guide. There will be multiple interactive activities throughout the lesson so students can synthesize what they are learning and keep track of it. I will ask students to share their work with me and/or the class and give them feedback on this work.
