T2U and the Theatre of Dreams

Terrific news from Michelle that Manchester United have asked tutor2u to develop some Business Studies materials based on the club.  The work will follow in the footsteps of our business management game (The Hot Seat) and our Business of Football tour for Chelsea FC.  Looks like Michelle is going to have to brush up on her knowledge of Premier League football one more time…

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.
