How I can use Blogger in the classroom
Blogger will be an excellent tool for communication purposes -- in and outside of the traditional classroom. I can use the tool the following ways:
1. Sharing current events related to personal finance, for my students in my Personal Finance class.
2. Quick reference guide to all of the links that I share with my students (they can use for their projects and/or at home for personal use.
3. I can post upcoming agendas or homework assignments. I can also upload or provide links to classwork that an absent student may need.
A little about me....
Hi everyone,
I am a wife, mom, and teacher. I use every moment to be a "teachable moment"; whether it is with a friend, family member or a student. I love teaching. I am passionate about my subject matter. I am a people person -- who loves to share knowledge. I am not an expert in Personal Finance; I learn a lot from the best financial advisors out there: Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey to name a couple! I hope you enjoy my blog :)
Did you know.....
A few small changes can make you financial independent in the future!!
Examples:
Pay off your credit card every month (don't have a balance that carries over, you will waste your money on interest charges!)
No matter what your age, save into a retirement account (the earlier, the better); and do this regularly -- IRA or 401k/403b are great investment vehicles
Live below your means! If you earn a take home pay of $35,000/year; your expenses should not be more than that each year! You will just set yourself up for financial disaster!!
Keep positive, and make small changes -- you will see the difference!
