IPTV educators are presenting a series of sessions based on the Biz Kid$ public TV series during April and May. This series features kids teaching other kids about money and business. During the sessions, recommended for grades 4-8, students watch a video from the BizKid$ series and complete activities with session facilitators that relate to each week’s topic. Participating schools also receive great resource materials to use in their classrooms. For more information on this, check out the Biz Kid$ Web site at http://www.bizkids.com.
Production and educational outreach funding for Biz Kid$ is generously provided to Biz Kid$ by a coalition of America’s Credit Unions. Descriptions and information for the May Biz Kid$ sessions are listed below. Click on the session links to learn more about the educational objectives and student concepts covered in each session.
