Financial Literacy: TEACH IT! [|**www.ecb.org/finance**] The Historical Scene Investigation Project **(**[|**www.hsionline.org**]**),** The Digital Directors Guild **(**[|**www.ddguild.org**]**)** Digital Docs in a Box **(**[|www.digitaldocsinabox.org]) Econocast **(**[|**www.econocast.org**]**).** The Council for Economic Education has released ' Gen i Revolution ,' a free online personal finance game sponsored by FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority).

Middle and high school teachers can register their classes at [].

During the game, students undertake 15 missions to beat back the insidious "Murktide" infestation. The "Murktide," a confusion about basic personal finance principles, is spreading across the population, and middle and high school students are the last line of defense against a lifetime of poor financial decisions.

Designed to teach important personal finance and investing concepts, the missions are correlated to two Council for Economic Education programs, 'Learning, Earning and Investing' and 'Your Credit Counts.'
