Best ways to teach Accounting is always the question of discussion and large number of accounting teachers and students who tell many teaching accounting ideas in this discussion and you can also find some these type discussions online. So I thought I’d summarize some of the main themes that arose in the discussion of teaching accounting ideas.
1. Accounting Examples in Accounting Teaching - Cengage writes - "87% of students say they consider step-by-step examples the most important part of teaching accounting. So, it is good teaching idea that take any accounting problem, explain its different terms and solve it step by step."
2. Always Explain Why - Shoo writes - " This is from my own experience. My teacher kept telling me do this and that. Debit this account , Credit this one, Always keep it balanced until I thought income statement should be balanced also. Once I got rid of this teacher I started understanding accounting. I had this teacher who always tough me why these things are done.
3. Use of Twitter for Teaching Financial Accounting - Wendy Tietz writes - "This summer, I was faced with a new challenge coming up in the fall. I would be teaching financial accounting and I would have about 600 students. I mulled over how to efficiently and effectively communicate with a wide variety of students; what tools could I use? I immediately set up a Twitter account (@ACCT23020) specifically for my financial accounting students. In addition to using Twitter to send out communications to my students, students have used Twitter to ask questions. I have had conversations with students over Twitter; it is a very fast and very efficient communication tool. We have also used Twitter in the classroom to create backchannel for students to use to send in questions during the lecture; that backchannel is another intriguing use of Twitter in the college classroom and will be the subject of another blog posting in the future.
4. Use Web for Teaching Accounting - Geoff - "I have developed a short presentation on aspects of the open web of learning and the opportunities it creates for teachers in the UK and beyond to fully embrace the web as a platform for collaborative teaching and learning. Many of the examples and ideas were generated by discussions with and presentations given by fellow delegates at the recent Australian MoodleMoot."
5. Teach Students about Checking of Accounts - Charlotte Johnson - " Learning how to manage a checking account is a skill that can be tremendously important. Preparing students for handling their own checking account is a solid way to begin equipping them for a stable financial future. Practical exercises regarding check writing, online banking, paying bills and balancing an account can prove valuable in developing the abilities they will need to manage their accounts."

6. Antifraud Tips for Accounting Professionals - Jeff Moore - "As financial professionals, we are responsible for safeguarding employer (or client) assets. Fraud prevention is much less costly than fraud detection and investigation. The field of occupational fraud and abuse is extremely interesting...and rewarding."
7. Teach Accounting With a Monopoly Board - W. Albrecht - " Offer the potential for students to attribute greater value to accounting information in the decision-making process. In fleshing out this idea, I came across an article in Issues in Accounting Education by Robert Kneckel, describing how he had students play Monopoly and then prepare an Income Statement and Balance Sheet at the conclusion of the game. I was intrigued by the thought of using the game, but felt that two modifications might improve the instructional effectiveness of its use.
