Those of you who have been to the NGPF website before may have noticed it now looks a little… different. No, there’s nothing wrong with your computer or phone. Over the past few months we’ve been working hard to redesign our website, and it’s finally ready!

So what new features have we added? Let us tell you!

1) Improved Navigation of our Curriculum

Our biggest goal with the news website was to make it easier for you, our community, to find the resources you want.

You notice a 3×3 grid on both our Homepage, and our Curriculum page, that lists all the personal finance topics we cover. For every topic, you can:

• Easily select full Lessons or just Activities
• Preview our resources before accessing them
• Learn about the Four Cs — the principles that guide all our content

2) Test Your Knowledge… with quizzes!

At NGPF, we are always hungry for new knowledge about personal finance. But we want to spread that hunger to our community, and what better way to do that than with weekly quizzes! Powered by Qzzr, you can take the quiz right from our homepage, in the “Test Your Knowledge” section. This week’s quiz: How much does the average laptop cost?

What’s great about these quizzes? They’re quick, they’re fun, and they’re easy to share with friends! You can show them all the great knowledge you’re picking up.

Wait, there’s more? Monthly prizes?? Yes, it’s true. Take the quiz each week and you’ll be entered into our monthly competition. The person with the highest score at the end of the month will receive a $50 Amazon gift card!

3) Direct Access to  Flash Surveys

Every month we offer flash surveys to help educate our community on what’s happening in the world of personal finance education and how to apply it to your classroom. Now you can participate any time, right from our website.

• Take this month’s survey any time — and view the results — all on our Flash Surveys page.

Cheers,

The NGPF team
