mizsmth Apr 19 @ 8:10 PM EDT

FinEdChat Apr 19 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@mizsmth I believe a semester of Econ and a semester of #finlit - like in Virginia - would be ideal. #busedu

FinEdChat Apr 19 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q5: Can you provide examples of how you assess your students? Does it vary by topic? #busedu

Technutella Apr 19 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@WinkelerD @FinEdChat guest speakers also known as former students 😉...right, @JohnSchaech #busedu

busedcrev Apr 19 @ 8:32 PM EDT

WinkelerD Apr 19 @ 8:32 PM EDT

I don't even have the textbook in my room. They are in the other Ts room that I was supposed to pick up in August #whoops #busedu

GerriKimble Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Never have! Just can't do it! #busedu https://t.co/gMQwKLIihT

busedcrev Apr 19 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@amandaevolz @AlexMLamon I haven't touched a #FinLit text book in I don't know how long!!!! #busedu

akieser Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Agree! Rather not spend any money on textbooks -use any needed funds to purchase premium access 4 resources #busedu https://t.co/uHwqjzir6P

amandaevolz Apr 19 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@AlexMLamon Couldn't agree more! A textbook is not needed! #busedu

JoeNavickas Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@amandaevolz @AlexMLamon #busedu What about if we make our own textbook by having students creating across state lines?

busedcrev Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A5: Their creations are the assessments. Every topic...they create. My kids never see a "test" in this course. #busedu

WinkelerD Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@busedcrev @amandaevolz @AlexMLamon it's been 3 years for me. And that was just to move them. #busedu

lynnodriscoll Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A5: a combination of tests and projects #busedu

AlexMLamon Apr 19 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@JoeNavickas @amandaevolz talk about an innovative cumulative project! #busedu

FinEdChat Apr 19 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@amandaevolz @AlexMLamon #finlit is more about learning skills and shaping behavior than memorizing a text. #busedu

busedcrev Apr 19 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@GerriKimble 16 years ago I was given a text and told this is what I had to do. As soon as that person retired, bye bye text! #busedu

@GerriKimble @akieser Here's the story, attached the pic. It hit without warning. https://t.co/89I2nHqtW4 #busedu https://t.co/kmiwpfnjmU

busedcrev Apr 19 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@FinEdChat @amandaevolz @AlexMLamon Right! It's not rocket science. It's about understanding WHY it's important and having tools. #busedu

GerriKimble Apr 19 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Absolutely. #busedu https://t.co/9qDevxENJA

Technutella Apr 19 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A5: Using receipts and bills from my personal expenses opens the lines of communication #busedu

AlexMLamon Apr 19 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A5: Best assessments are Ss creating projects - asses them on the behavior we want to see them doing! #busedu

WinkelerD Apr 19 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@Technutella actually yes. A former S will be student teaching for me in the fall. Most real world you can get! #busedu

GerriKimble Apr 19 @ 8:36 PM EDT

EXACTLY. #busedu https://t.co/ob18a7WjMf

A5: Warm-up activities, quizzes, essays, and presentations of projects. I would say that I am mostly a project based instructor. #busedu

FinEdChat Apr 19 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Q6: What are your favorite resources to teach students to shop for big ticket items, such as a car or prom dress? #busedu

WinkelerD Apr 19 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A5: combination of tests, projects, and real world scenarios to show mastery in learning. #busedu

GerriKimble Apr 19 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A5: Simulations -- learning by DOING. Giving the opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them. #busedu

Technutella Apr 19 @ 8:38 PM EDT

To add to what @akieser said, we can re allocate the funds towards competitions #FBLA memberships #jobshadow #fieldtrip #busedu

JoeNavickas Apr 19 @ 8:38 PM EDT

akieser Apr 19 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@busedcrev I try the same. Have them research and evaluate different apps. They need to select based on reviews and purpose #busedu

busedcrev Apr 19 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@FinEdChat @WhartonHS Super cool!! I hope I get to experience it this summer in Chicago! #busedu

FinEdChat Apr 19 @ 8:47 PM EDT
