There are millions of websites… and the number grows daily. It can take time to sort great teaching sites from those that aren’t as helpful. Yet, there is a tool to make the job easy. It’s called social bookmarking. Watch this helpful YouTube video about the value of del.icio.us, one of the top social bookmarking sites. You may also want to read some of the earlier posts about social bookmarking for a list of things to consider when starting to use social bookmarks. Tell your colleagues about del.icio.us too. If they find great educational resources, they can share them and that will save you a lot of time, which means more time to teach … and more time to relax. That’s a winning combination.

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has identified financial literacy as a 21st Century Content area. We as adults need to be financially savvy and we need to impart that money sense to our students and children.
Tonight one of my girlfriends, Wendy Sterndale, told me about an awesome book offer that Suze Orman, financial guru, has to offer women that I hope you’ll accept or share with the women you care about. She has written a book called Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny.
Although geared towards women, I’m sure anyone can benefit from the financial wisdom. It’s a five month program to help you create a healthy relationship to money, make more out of the money you have for yourself and your loved ones, and gain more financial freedom. If you open a SaveYourself account with TD Ameritrade, they’ll add $100 to your account. So you can start easily investing and recoup your investment in her book too!
I’m on a major campaign to learn more about finances so that I can make fabulous choices around money and teach these tools and strategies to my students. I hope you join me in making financial literacy part of your life and your teaching.
