This week's PD lineup features an activity spotlight session on the popular NGPF activity RESEARCH: Online Tools & Apps. In this activity, students take on the role of an app reviewer to research various online tools and apps pertaining to payments, saving, budgeting, and robo-advising. 

Here's a preview of what will be shared in the PD session this week:

• An overview of the activity
• Implementation ideas! (Spoiler: Amanda will share a collaborative way to customize this activity into dynamic student presentations!)
• Supplemental resources (here's a sneak peek) and lesson planning ideas

Join Amanda on Monday, November 6, 2023 to collaborate and learn more!
