Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest has been running their own version this year, but JA World Wide has now come up with their own they would like to implement. </p> <p>They need to have 5 schools on board by May 28. You would need to do the entire curriculum and 5 simulation sessions (in a computer lab) by late November.</p> <p>They will be asking students to do a basic pretest and posttest for the simulation, and teachers and volunteers to provide feedback after each simulation session. This piece shouldn't be too bad. You will truly have influence over what this program will look like moving forward, so it is important that you give us honest feedback and ideas.</p> <p>If interested, please contact Jennifer Bahti at <a href="mailto:jbahti@jaum.org">jbahti@jaum.org</a>. </p> http://www.mbei-online.org/forum/topic.php?id=32#post-42 Wed, 05 May 2010 07:51:16 +0000 hchristian 42@http://www.mbei-online.org/forum/ <p>I agree as business teachers we need to teach right from wrong when it comes to social networking. I question the need to open up FB in the classroom to do this though. And I just read something about Ning concentrating only on their paying customers, so am hesitant to go in the direction. I would love to hear some ideas on how other teachers are doing this in their classrooms. </p> http://www.mbei-online.org/forum/topic.php?id=32#post-41 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 13:36:36 +0000 coxl 41@http://www.mbei-online.org/forum/ <p>I just attended the class here at MBEI on social networks. There were a lot of negative comments about why a teacher would create one. I feel, especially as business teachers, we need to take the forefront of educating our students on how to use a social network. I think we need to look at it as another tool to teach students how to responsibly be a part of their world. What do you think? (use <a href="http://www.ning.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ning.com/</a> to create these) </p> http://www.mbei-online.org/forum/topic.php?id=19#post-39 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 10:45:29 +0000 klarson 39@http://www.mbei-online.org/forum/ <p>I attended the "Economics Systems" course at the University of MN - St. Paul Campus last summer.

The program also offers free Train-the-Trainer (TTT) sessions to individuals who wish to lead the program in their local communities. The FDIC regional trainer would like at least a group of 20 people to travel to from St. Louis to MN offer the training session. I’m interested in being a trainer and leading both the youth and adult programs in my community and I’m considering working with regional FDIC trainer to organize a TTT session here in South Central MN (Mankato, New Ulm).

With coverage that spans from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of "preferred customer" and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer. Hilarious, shocking and incisive, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us." </p> <p>The DVD can be purchased on Amazon.com.
