How I Use It
I have used The Mint in the past, but I have to admit to not being crazy about its current format. I can definitely see some benefit to lower grade level students or students with lower literacy. The Mint can be used to supplement economic concepts in the classroom.
My Take
The Mint could use some work on engaging students of all levels. Its games and activities are great for younger kids, but there are not many resources for high school kids even though it is rated for K through 12.
