DECA animoto video

I am not completely done with it but here is the beginning.

Video used for review in Marketing

I used the following YouTube video to reinforce topics learning in the sales section of features and benefits. I inserted the link into my Powerpoint and brought it up after I explained the features and benefits project before they began to work on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiSpUtjEKrM&feature=fvwrel The JT Show has lots of sales videos that fit with my curriculum. One problem is that sometimes he doesn't use the same vocabulary as my curriculum does.

Entrepreneur archives

I didn't have the google voice set up in time to do it this year, but am planning on it for next fall. All of my students interview entrepreneurs as a class assingment. I will now have students create a recording of the interview using Google Voice and then I will keep an archive of all the interviews on my blog for students to use based on what type of business they are interested in using. Here are the questions they ask the entrepreneurs: Ask the Entrepreneur Student name: Name of Entrepreneur: Name of Business: Interview a local entrepreneur, ask the following questions: 1. How old were you when you began working at your first job? 2. When you were younger and just beginning to work, did you enjoy working? Why or why not? 3. Did you have ideas about how things could be done better at your first few jobs? Did you suggest changes to your boss? Where your ideas ever used? 4. When did you first get the idea of being your own boss or starting your own business? 5. Do you think you could run any business successfully? Why or why not? 6. How much time do you spend a week working? Would you like to work more or less? Explain. 7. How important do you think a high school education is to being a successful entrepreneur? A college education? 8. Of all your skills and abilities, which contributes most to your success as a business owner? Why? 9. What mistakes or weaknesses do you think most often lead to failure for entrepreneurs? 10. What advice would you give to someone who was considering starting their own business someday?
