Offline Use

Every lesson in the Financial Literacy curriculum can be run with no technology beyond a printed page.

Printing Lessons​

  1. Open any lesson in a browser
  2. Use File > Print (or Ctrl+P / Cmd+P)
  3. Each lesson prints cleanly in portrait format, black and white

Facilitators only need the printed lesson -- students do not need to hold any materials.

Running Without Devices​

  1. Read the lesson yourself beforehand (5 minutes)
  2. Ask the warm-up question out loud from memory or printed notes
  3. Summarize the main idea in a few sentences
  4. Ask 2-3 discussion questions from the lesson
  5. Close with one exit-ticket prompt -- spoken, not written

Offline Discussion Tools​

Discussion prompts: Read aloud from the printed lesson or from the Exit Ticket Bank.

Scenario cards: Print from Scenario Cards or write them on index cards by hand.

Reflection prompts: Ask out loud. Students can keep private written notes in their own journal.

Settings with Limited Technology​

  • Libraries: Print a small set of lessons to create a discussion packet
  • Homeschool without internet: Download or print lessons while connected; run offline afterward
  • One projector in a classroom: Project the lesson for the group -- no individual devices needed
  • No technology at all: Facilitator writes the 2-3 core discussion questions on index cards

Privacy Reminder​

Offline formats protect student privacy naturally: nothing is typed, submitted, or stored. No student names or responses need to be recorded.
