Pbs Teachers: Electric Money Teaching Guides (History of Money Resources)

Curated by ACT

Five teaching guides containing interdisciplinary lessons that can be used to explore the characteristics of money; how credit, debit, and smart cards work; financial markets and transactions; and similar topics. Designed as complements to in-class screenings of the "Electric Money" documentary first aired by PBS in 2001, the lessons contain loads of background information for teachers that make them useful even when the video footage is not available.
