Free Financial Literacy iPhone App

FinLitTV just released a free iPhone app. I am proud to say I hand in creating the app. The app includes two terrific features:

• A Financial Literacy Clips (FLiC) is short video that illustrates a specific financial literacy concept. They can be shared in a number of ways with others, including social media. As you can see from the embedded FLiC, they serve as wonderful hooks for personal finance lessons.

• The quiz is an ideal tool and enjoyable way for students to prepare for final exams. Each of the questions are consistent with Jump$tart National Standards, and have varying degrees of difficulty.

Financial Tools for HS Seniors & College Students

April is financial literacy month. I created a LiveBinder of financial tools for high school seniors and college students. My goal is to provide a 'One-Stop-Shop' of resources they can rely on to make wise and informed financial choices, consistent with their own values and goals.
