My Take
Overall, this website was ok. It's a little bit difficult to navigate. The games are ok, but I was a little confused by some aspects of them. The videos are pretty engaging and would be good as supplemental materials for teaching. The lesson plans were ok- but very worksheet-based. I would digitize a lot of it and probably just use bits and pieces when working with students.
How I Use It
I would use this website to get ideas and supplemental materials for teaching about financial literacy, budgeting and building a business.

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.
