Our first and third graders will be using Kidpiration, creating powerpoints, and researching on the internet. We will also use survey monkey to assess technology needs before we start the unit.
This sounds like a great unit. I like how you have different phases. I think that the kids are really going to enjoy the Budget Phase. I like how they are going to earn and lose money. I also like the Kidspiration assessment. Awesome Job!
I like the budget your kids have to keep in class; I've even seen this done where they have to pay to use the restroom or if they need a new pencil, and earn as well for good character, etc.
It might be good to have a "practical" assessment with your survey monkey to see what the kids can do on the computer.
For your presentation, just a suggestion, the black writing on the yellow background is difficult to see.
