Thing #6


While looking through the Web 2.0 awards I found Mint. I decided to look into the website and see what it had to offer. It asked for my bank account information, which I did not want to share, but after reviewing the site I realized that it is a trusted and verified website. Once I started using this site I realized that it is a financial planner that helps save and budget the money that comes in and out of your bank account. It was really neat to see what percentage of money was spent on food, entertainment, gas, etc. This sites main functions are calendars and goals set to help save money and insure financial stability from month to month. I did not use these functions but I mainly used this site to keep track of my money (where it was going and what it was going to).

Even though this site would not be very helpful in an educational point of view there are links to other sites such as Twitter and Facebook, which helps with communication and involvement with other people, which is always important as an Educator.
