Love at First Swipe - the Do’s and Don'ts of First Time Credit

Podcast: http://www.rbcroyalbank.com/studentpodcast/index.html#loveAtFirst

Love at First Swipe will be used as an introduction to the Consumer Credit unit in my Consumer Issues class. The students will listen to the podcast on their computer during class. This podcast explains:

· how to manage a credit card responsibly
· why you should apply for a credit card
· advantages and disadvantages of credit
· how to keep interest rates down
· how to use the card securely
· how to establish a good credit history

This podcast was chosen because it was created by a bank and is targeted to teenage students. There is a transcript available and new content will be posted regularly.

This will be a great use of a podcast in your new class. Actually the whole site looks like it has some great resources for all of us in the business department. Thanks for sharing.
