My Take
A great product and show. The materials and resources available are great and have a lot of possible extensions. The kids get to see how real life kids use these concepts and how the relate to their life. From there discussions, projects, and more are a natural outcome.
How I Use It
As a part of a unit that I am teaching, I often times play either a clip or a whole episode of this. We own the DVD set as well as access the videos online. We watch pause and discuss points. Students answer questions using response systems or on paper to reflect on their learning. I have also started using the financial literacy games on the site, the kids really like them and they illustrate ideas that we discuss in class.

The site also offers learners the opportunity to budget and investment plans.

Overall this project is quite good as a learning tool the teacher can pick and choose what videos and resources they want to use based on what they are teaching in economics or related fields. There are plenty of good resources to use for a variety of grade level and cognitive ability. I would recommend you take a close look at this product.

Entertaining Videos & Games to Introduce Finance Concepts
Overall, I found this website very useful. The videos were entertaining; however, they were a bit lengthy - at about 28 minutes. The students enjoyed the games. This site would fit the Augmentation category of the SAMR model. The site also provides additional resources for students and teachers.
