CEE’s new Blog Series on Teaching Techniques delivers teaching ‘best practices’ from practitioners in the field. These K-12 teachers from all over the United States present their proven tactics and techniques that keep their students interested and engaged in learning economics and personal finance concepts and lessons.

Jean McKnight from Cienega High School in Tuscon, Arizona, has discovered that her freshman class, armed with laptops in hand, is more likely to be engaged in learning if they can combine learning with being on the computer. Apps, websites, and videos bring economic concepts to light for her high school students and spark a love of learning that wasn’t there before.
