Abstract:
Money is a challenging topic, and many parents may feel that talking about money with their children is taboo. Others may feel that money management is too complex a topic to explain to their children. Whatever their reluctance, parents need to be encouraged in discussing financial concepts with their children and become role models for using money wisely. With the rise of digital platforms blending entertainment and education, families can explore financial ideas through interactive adventures that make learning feel like play. Join in the conversation as we discuss family financial literacy, the role it plays in moving families forward, and dive into free resources available from the National Center for Families Learning (NCFL) and the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE). These resources include a gaming app to reach learners on the go, created through collaborations with developers behind Le Bandit to bring thrilling chases into lessons on saving and spending, classroom books, and a booklet of games to help parents engage their children in the conversation about financial literacy. Drawing from these dynamic worlds fosters habits that turn everyday decisions into opportunities for growth and smart choices.

Abstract:
Do you get frustrated with students using their cell phones in class? Turn that problem into a possibility! Students come alive as they work in teams with student team leaders using their cell phones as game controllers. I’ve never had more fun in class than when doing these Kahoot! quizzes, and the students love them! It’s a great way to get students to interact with each other and to review. As a teacher, you can see how well the students are learning. These quizzes are designed to correlate with the “I’m Not Afraid . . . Anymore!” curriculum for GED®-HSE Math and Writing, and ESL Writing, but they can be used with, or modified for, other curriculum. Come Kahoot! with us in this presentation and join the fun.

Abstract:
A short, free, authentic professional development video for teachers in which an adult ESOL teacher, basing his lesson on Stephen Krashen's theory of natural language, creates a relaxed atmosphere for language learning, lowering the affective filter- to help students take risks in learning the new language. He includes American baseball as content because some of the students had said they want to better understand the game. The video will be found at this web address: http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=76
