Resource of the Week
--------------------
Financial Education
Source: Federal Reserve Board
Federal Reserve Education
The Federal Reserve System has just redesigned its financial education
website, consolidating the contents of four different sites, with resources
for teachers, high school and college students, and the general public. The
four main sections of the site are:
+ Federal Reserve Education, which offers "links to instructional materials
and tools that can increase your understanding of the Federal Reserve,
economics and financial education.
+ Teachers Resources offers a search engine that helps teachers locate
"Federal Reserve System education materials that meet national education
standards for incorporation in their lesson plans." There are title and
keyword search boxes, and dropdown menus that let you restrict your search
to level of material (elementary, middle or high school), type of material
(comic books, games, videos, pamphlets, websites, teaching guides and more),
and/or relevant National Council on Economic Education standard.
+ Personal Financial Education includes tutorials, brochures and other
information covering consumer banking, consumer protection, homes and
mortgages, interest rates, loans, and credit. Very cool: Video (MPEG format)
showing The Life of a Dollar Bill "as it moves from printer to shredder."
+ Fed 101, "an interactive site that provides an overview of the history and
organization of the Federal Reserve System, monetary policy and federal
regulations, and services provided to depository institutions."

<http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Teachers/folk.html>
Folk music - sung during the days before there was a music
industry when the role of music was about your life -
about the life and times that most of us don't experience
anymore and when the music was sung because it helped
people through it and sustained them.
