lets learn about economics

I haven't learned about economics since i was a senior in high school, which was about three years ago. So, it was nice to get a little review on economics and my fellow classmates gave me some great ideas on how to teach economics in the classroom for younger children. We each were assigned a question that we had to do research into. So, some of my classmates showed us some websites to use in the classroom, while other classmates taught us ways to teach younger students how to budget and manage money starting at a young age. I think it is so important to teach students to manage money and what the value of a dollar really is because they are our future. They are the future business leaders in our country and one day they will be taking over, we want them to have something to take over and we want them to all be successful. My favorite way to teach economics had to have been the interactive ways using the computer. They were able to compare and contrast different pizza places and who offered what and who had the best prices to see which better pizza they could get for the value of their money. I thought students would love something like that. I taught the difference between micro and macro economics, which was hard to relate to younger students. But, I would possibly have students learn the differences and then create their own collage with the differences between the 2. Again, I think it is so important to teach students about economics and our economy because it controls everything about their future. Students that are more aware of the economic situation in our country are able to be more insightful and more successful in their future endeavors.
