- Online ATM Helps Youth Smarten Up about Spending Hibbert, Kathy Coulson, Elizabeth Money Management Foreign Countries Internet High School Students Teaching Methods Debt (Financial) Partnerships in Education Program Descriptions Databases Libraries Lesson Plans Educational Resources While many high school students confess a desire to develop personal money management skills, statistics tracking the average Canadian's personal debt underscore the need to ensure the youth have the tools they need for financial success. What would it take to motivate teens to learn more about how they spend and manage their money? The authors discuss the resource, "ATM Confessions: A Financial Literacy Library," which was developed through a partnership between the Investor Education Fund (IEF) and the University of Western Ontario's Faculty of Education as a way to promote financial literacy among today's youth. A database housed within the ATM makes resources and interactives freely accessible on the web. In addition, registered secure access can be easily obtained by teachers for use with their classes. As teachers and students access the resources and interactives in the library, they can develop and store their own lesson plans. User-developed activities and products can be published to the databases to continue to generate new, authentic, innovative resources. (Contains 5 notes.)
