What are the positive features of this resource?

  • This is a really nice web site which has loads of good lessons for business studies in general.

  • I have linked to the financial business studies page, however, there is loads more.

Are there any issues that teachers should be aware of when using this resource?

  • It is a UK site so there are some differences. Teachers need to be selective about the bits they use, some sections (ratio analysis for example) is suited for the HSC course not the preliminary. Some stuff is not relevant at all.

  • Can be tricky to find lessons because of the way it is set out because of the different UK secondary school system.

  • Check both teacher resources and student resources.



What suggestions can you make for the use of this resource in the classroom?

Depends on what resources you select from the site :)

What suggestions can you make for the use of this resource in the classroom?


Can I recommend the following as an alternative to the one above this as I have fixed a couple of year 11 unfriendly parts and adjusted a couple of mistakes. Perhaps someone could add a CFS cloze to it?
