FINANCIAL LITERACY
How Managing Your Money Now, Will Save You Later
MY GOAL
By the end of this series of lessons, my students will
know how to use a series of different online
applications that will better their understanding of
modern day financial management. Some of the
applications include, but are not limited to:
PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, QR Codes, Second Life,
and Podcasts. These applications not only will better
help them in the financial world, but will also give
them more proficiency with online programs to use for
their own purposes.
