In PFM we show a video to help students understand the structure and functions of the Federal Reserve. Here's a link: http://www.stlouisfed.org/education_resources/inplainenglishvideo.cfm

Having some technical difficulties with this one. My fabulous idea is becoming a little harder to execute than expected. In Intro to Business one of our units is social responsibility. We do a case study on Ben & Jerry's, pioneers for linking business with social values. The company creates numerous flavors that promote and support social initiatives/charities. Students pick a charity to support and then make an ice cream flavor on their website's flavor generator. I then have them present their new flavor and the social mission behind it. I was planning on having them present via a commercial made with PhotoStory. So far issues I have had: 1. getting PhotoStory downloaded on my desktop classroom computers that are administrator locked. 2. using their phones to record audio and then email it, save to H:drive and then import into PhotoStory - PhotoStory does not support the audio file format used on the phones. 3. borrowed the super cool pilot headphones for audio recording but so far no luck - tried plugging into two different places on the computer as well as alternating both input connections but still can't hear my audio play back. Needless to say, I loved the idea but don't have a whole lot more time to spend working on logistics right now; the class is supposed to be starting the project on Friday. May have to be something for next semester, technology permitting.
