My Students

My students are highly motivated, creative individuals that take on any assignments that I engage them in.

I deal with students from every socioeconomic aspect.

I highly believe in the importance of personal finance and I want to provide the oportuntiy for all of the students at my school to get at least the bare minimum introduction in this field.

With this grant, I will be able to give my students a real life simulation of the Stock Market and investment portfolios. The LED Ticker symbol display will give real time data to the students in my Personal Finance class.

My Project

With this stock ticker display students will experience real world trading on a daily basis. The will see what is actually going on during the trading day. This will provide them a more real world trading experience.

Trading made real is the goal of this purchase.

Students will see the stocks they trade scroll across the classroom in real time making the experience more real. It is a proven fact that visuals enhance learning. With the inclusion of the Ticker Symbol in my classroom students will see their companies they trade in real time thus providing instant information about the quality of the trade.

The ability to see it in real time will make the event more believable and relevant to the students. The trading experience will be real without risk allowing students the freedom to experience the market.
