When it comes to managing money, there are three types of people: The goal of this lesson is to get students on the path toward being one of those people who "get it" about money.
 * People Who Just Get By
 * The Big Spenders
 * People Who "Get It."

Why I chose to incorporate technology into this lesson is because it provides students with the opportunity to learn two things at once. I had the opportunity to see students be excited about using an easy-to-learn program to express themselves. Because the lesson itself is a fairly simple lesson, incorporating technology was an easy way to bring it up a notch!!

The use of technology will improve my teaching because first it forces me to stay more current. It models being a lifelong learner. I believe it also helps students to remain more engaged; students learn in a variety of ways and this helps to add variety besides the obvious of teaching students new technology tips.
