Preparing the next generation for financial challenges such as student loans, buying a car, paying rent, managing stocks is one of the most important things that an economics class provide students. Our students love their smartphones, but are they using technology to express money smarts? Low income students who do not have regular access to computers for academic purposes are being left behind in learning fiscal concepts and we need technology in our classroom to fill the achievement gap. Implementing Chromebooks into the classroom will provide all students the access needed to work on real life projects in my Economics class. These projects include creating your own Stock Brokerage, making decisions on student loans, debt management, Garage Sale Marketing to create Demand and dump your supply, Grocery Store Coupons and How they affect prices, creating a personal budget for saving, Buying a home in California: It can be done, and Saving for Retirement.
