Teaching Using The Internet Give me a stick of chalk and a blackboard and let me teach is what a friend of mine in stock market simulations, scavenger hunts and other activities. http://www.socialstudieshelp.com/Educational_Links_for_Teachers.htm
Extractions: "Give me a stick of chalk and a blackboard and let me teach" is what a friend of mine said to me ten years ago while I was teaching in New York City. Today we find ourselves asking for laser discs, CD-ROMS, computers and high speed Internet connections. Have things really changed that much? With all that is being asked of us; new standards, school report cards and new Regents is the Internet the answer to all of our needs? No, it's probably not. The Internet will not make students study or do their homework but it can be a wonderful resource to both students, teachers and parents. The Internet is a tool in the tool box, a power tool! Like any tool it takes a master craftsman to build a fine piece of artwork and the computer and the Internet is no exception. But even I know how to use a drill and it can make many things easier for me. Not everybody needs to be a master craftsman on the computer to make the Internet a viable tool. In order to make good use of the Internet, or any technology, we need to assess what the real utility is. What educational value does the Internet have?

Lesson Plans Overview Lesson Plans: Budgeting Your Financal Resources Its importance The stock market is important in the operation of the American economic system. Companies sell stock to raise funds for improvements and expansions. The stock market also plays a critical role in personal financial planning. Not only do many individuals directly purchase shares of stock as part of their personal financial strategies, most Americans have a large stake in the stock market through their retirement programs. Investments in common stocks have proven to be an excellent long-run strategy in retirement planning, compared to alternatives such as savings accounts, government securities, corporate bonds, precious metals, works of art, rare coins, and stamps, and even baseball cards. Finally, people of all ages find the stock market interesting. In both fact and fiction, fascinating stories of winning and losing vast fortunes in the stock market abound. Economics teachers can capitalize on the natural interest in the market by integrating lessons dealing with the stock market in various parts of their courses. Start by teaching students to read stock price reports and interpret financial information.

Research Services BUSINESSWEEK INVESTOR RELATED ITEMS Teaching Girls the Ways of Money TABLE: Investing 101 for Girls My experience helps explain why so many women are uncomfortable investing. Starting in high school, I often peppered my dad with questions about personal finance and business. He usually dismissed them, saying he hoped my two sisters and I would never have to worry about those things. Later, he engaged his sons-in-law in long chats about investing while keeping conversations with his daughters light, focused mainly on family matters and ski conditions. He doesn't do that anymore. Now that I've been a financial journalist for 10 years, my father respects my knowledge and confides in me about investments and business concerns. I don't fault him for not teaching us about investing. He came from a generation that believed men would take care of their daughters' financial needs. Today, more parents are schooling daughters early in the ways of money, and more resources are available to do this. Why do girls need special attention? ''Boys have informal economies from age 6 by trading marbles and cards, while girls collect,'' says Joline Godfrey, founder of Independent Means, a Santa Barbara (Calif.) company that promotes economic independence among girls 14 to 24. ''By the time boys start trading stocks and bonds, it's just another part of the game.''

Extractions: LESSONS LEARNED: DIRECTIONS: This lesson plan may be used by anyone, without any prior stock market or investing knowledge. We have provided all the material you need here. In addition, we are available to answer any questions you may have either when beginning this lesson, or questions you may have during this exercise. The time involved will vary greatly depending on how much time you wish to spend on this material, as well as the age level of your students. This may vary from 1 week to an entire school year. We recommend continuing this exercise throughout an entire school year, since this will continue to make students interested in current events while they learn important skills. GOALS: Typical stock market simulations try to make the simulation a "contest" with the winner the one who has the largest portfolio and the end of the exercise. This is unfortunate since it encourages poor investment decisions such as rapid trading and taking large risks. Unlike typical stock market simulations, the goal here is to learn and understand basic investing principles, current events, the basics of how the economy works, money management skills, basic math and reading comprehension, writing skills, etc.

At the end, we even have a couple of web projects for K-4 As students become more advanced at web use, they can begin to create their own pages. Any of the following ideas can be developed for advanced students by having them work in teams to create a Web Virtual Collection or Exhibition on the topic to share with others. Reminder: One of the most important things you can do for your students is help them learn to evaluate information! Have them ask: Who provided this information? What are his or her qualifications? Is this information consistent with what experts say? Does this information reflect a particular viewpoint? What are the other viewpoints? What can I learn from this web page? Here are some sources of information on this: Evaluating World Wide Web Information Criteria for evaluation of Internet Information Resources For these exercises, the search tools of the Web will be very useful.
