Top 5 websites for teaching business

I trawled through 4,000+ Tweets that I have sent and found some brilliant websites for teaching business that I have recommended and used over the years. I narrowed it down to 5 because let's face it, we are all busy people and you don't want to read my top 100 websites to teach business.

1. Folksy

https://folksy.com/

Great for teaching enterprise and an alternative to Etsy. Lots of entrepreneurs

running micro businesses on this platform.

2. Money Helper

https://www.moneyhelper.org.uk/en

This is the UK government advice website - so students can use this for independent research and trust the content. No bank bias. Great for teaching; national insurance, tax, self-employment - all found under the work tab.

3. Inflation

https://www.rateinflation.com/

A very simple site that gives inflation rate data for different countries over time, compared. You can rule out countries by clicking on their name, so you can get a nice side-by-side comparison of two countries over time.

4. ONS

https://www.ons.gov.uk/

The Office of National Statistics is another government website useful for setting independent research or sending the link to students via teams. The site is a one-stop shop for up-to-date data on the UK economy.

5. iDea

https://idea.org.uk/

Free mini-courses which are ideal for teaching training or for setting for tutor time activities.
