NGPF is excited to share that the Cryptocurrency Mini Unit has been “Nearpod-ized”! Each lesson from the new mini-unit has an accompanying Nearpod to make lesson planning a little bit easier. 

What the Cryptocurrency Mini-Unit IS:

NGPF’s cryptocurrency mini-unit was carefully crafted to ensure it is informative, analytical, and enables teachers to provide their students with quality information they can use when making decisions related to cryptocurrency that will impact their financial future. 

What the Cryptocurrency Mini-Unit IS NOT:

This new mini-unit is not meant to encourage or discourage students when it comes to buying cryptocurrency. In a world where celebrities are endorsing cryptocurrencies and crypto-related services left and right, we feel it’s more important than ever for young people to fully understand the world of cryptocurrency before making any decisions on whether or not they are ready to participate.

Where can I find these Nearpod lessons?
