Explaining banking, what a bank does, using Minecraft. (No Gameplay. The teacher will show examples from Minecraft) In this class, a certified teacher and former banker/investment advisor will explain the following topics: what is a bank, what is a bank account, checking & savings, debit cards, and checks. Using concepts from Minecraft, we will discuss how a bank keeps our money "safe" through various measures, just as Minecraft players secure their inventory, build protections and use various types of Minecraft "chests". Minecraft is a great game to teach the basics of money, trade, the economy, and business. This class does not involve any game playing of Minecraft. The teacher's Minecraft world may be used at times to illustrate concepts to the students. Again there is no game playing by the students.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of these key concepts: How does a bank keep our money safe? How do people deposit and access money at a bank? How do people spend money they have in the bank? Debit cards, checks. What is a bank account?Other Details
