My Take
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.
How I Use It
I used the BizKid$ videos to introduce finance concepts in a Business Math class. This worked great for students who had little knowledge of financial literacy. The site provides lesson plans, along with activities and games.

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.
