Stock Market Stars: Bullish on Engagement, Blogs and Brainy Work
Rod HamesCrews Middle School, Gwinnett County Public Schools
Mirroring real life problems is a critical element that can turn a boring computer project into a highly engaging activity. In this project using the stock market, a novice teacher or veteran teacher can leave with tips, links, and specific strategies for use in their business classroom. This project relies on collaboration, mathematics, literacy, analysis, competition, and most importantly a strong focus on student engagement and autonomy. The unit begins with students who know little to nothing about the stock market and finishes with student-executives who own and operate their own simulated investment firm trusted with over half million dollars.
EQ: Why study the stock market?
