FinCap Friday: Scroll, Tap, Pay

For the EdPuzzle version of this activity, click here.

This week's FinCap Friday reveals what's behind the new Checkout feature on instagram. Released in March 2019, this feature allows users to interact directly with brands on the app instead of going to outside webpages to shop. However, instagram has previously stated that they don't want shopping and ads to be "in your face" when you're scrolling, so what made them change their mind? Tune into this week's episode to find out all the details below:

For those who prefer not to use the online Kahoot quiz, we've recently added a no-tech version that has the questions embedded in the presentation deck!

Check out all of our FinCap Fridays here. They're not date-dependent so any of the episodes in our inventory can work throughout the year!
