Econ Ed Link: How E Commerce Influences Consumer Choice

Curated by ACT

In this activity students learn decision making skills that will help them become better consumers. As consumers they have a variety of alternatives from which to choose. They learn about the importance of price information in making their decisions. First, students gather information on different brands of athletic shoes and determine which one is the best buy for them and explain why. Then, students identify a toy or game they would like to buy. To help determine where to purchase their toy or game, students gather information from a store, a catalog, and three websites. Finally, students conduct interviews to determine the extent to which adults in their community use e-commerce. They draw generalizations from their data and send a report of their findings to the adults who were interviewed.
