Business Week in Pictures

A cross-posting from my blogging colleague Jon Mace who has spotted an excellent resource in the Guardian ..... over to Jon

I have stumbled across an excellent resource on The Guardian website. I am always keen that my students have a good awareness of current goings on in the world of business and economics. I try to devote one lesson a week to examining the business news. Ways in which I do this vary from watching BBC news video clips to getting them to do a tutor2u Biz Quiz. The resource I have found is the Business News in Pictures- 10 pictures and a piece of text with each that highlight the business events of the week. They should provide a good stimulus for class discussion.

We are really pleased that Martin Hartnett has also joined the IB blogging team.
