Top 5 websites for teaching business
Updated: Aug 27, 2022
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.
Folksy
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
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
Free mini-courses which are ideal for teaching training or for setting for tutor time activities.
