I currently do very little with my students about digital commerce so I chose to do a little more research on that topic. I really like the example lesson that the 21things4students does with having them choose an electronic device and picking different brands to compare and focusing on specific features that they want. Since so many of them around the middle school age group are saving/buying/hoping to get some type of electronic device for Christmas or their birthday this would be a great lesson to do with them to show them the reality of buying online. I also found a couple of sites that discuss the pros and cons of digital commerce that I think make good points and have some things that the students wouldn't have thought about before. With how much online shopping I do myself I have a lot of emails that I can show the students real life examples and policies different stores have for returns and things like that. With how much purchasing is done online this is definitely something the students need to be informed about!
