Good day." Ah the thrill of zooming aloft behind the controls of a sleek jet airliner bound for Miami. There's just one problem. You've never flown a plane before in your entire life. Even if by some miracle you get this bird in the air, how far is it to Florida? At what altitude and speed should you fly? Once over Miami, will you know how to find the airport and land safely? The analogy may be too obvious, but venturing into the stock market without knowledge is just as dangerous as trying to pilot a plane when your only guide is good intentions. Faced with a bewildering array of products and services, the uninformed stock market shopper can easily be overwhelmed and make poor decisions. Consider three basic questions for starters. What is the stock market? How does the stock market work? What do "smart investors" need to know?

History Lesson Planning Article L E S S O N P L A N N I N G A R T I C L E The anniversary of Black Tuesday is the perfect opportunity to teach your students about the causes and the effects of the Great Depression. Education World offers a dozen great Internet-based activities. Included: Twelve activities for use across the curriculum and across the grades! October 29, 1999 was the 70th anniversary of Black Tuesday the day the stock market crashed, sending the United States and the world into a bleak era known as the Great Depression. The immediate effects of the Great Depression, along with the efforts of the federal government to spur recovery and to prevent a repeat of that disaster, changed forever the U.S. political, economic, and social scene. You can help your students understand the causes and the effects of the Great Depression as well as the impact that event has on their lives today.

Extractions: Through the years, and probably through the centuries, teachers have struggled to make math meaningful by providing students with problems and examples demonstrating its applications in everyday life. Now, however, technology makes it possible for students to experience the value of math in daily life, instead of just reading about it. This week, Education World tells you about eight great math sites (plus a few bonus sites) that demonstrate relevance while teaching relevant skills. Let's begin at the Lemonade Stand , an online version of a classic computer game. At this site, students use $20 dollars in seed money to set up a virtual lemonade stand in a neighbor's yard. Each day, they must decide how many cups of lemonade to prepare, how much money to charge for each cup, and how much to spend on advertising. Their decisions are based on production costs and on the weather forecast which isn't always accurate. Students have 25 days to either make a go of the business or go broke. Can they learn enough about the vagaries of business to make a profit? Students of all ages will enjoy the challenge provided by this simple game, which simulates some real business challenges and demonstrates how math fluency can help overcome them.

Extractions: A Financial Decision-Making Model Economics is the study of the management, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. A country or region's economy is the system of regulations and rules by which production and consumption activities are managed. As students complete the activities and lessons in this teaching guide, they will learn how individual financial decisions and individual actions affect the economy as a whole.

A financial market is a place where firms and individuals enter into contracts to buy or sell a specific product such as a stock, bond, or futures contract. Buyers seek to buy at the lowest possible price and sellers seek to sell at the highest possible price. Market Participation In this teaching guide, the focus will be on

Extractions: Published: May 2, 2005 Politicians as pork bellies, just another future commodity to trade like stocks. That's the best way to think of BC parties if you want to predict who wins on May 17. So say professors Tom Ross and Werner Antweiler, the directors of the University of British Columbia's Election Stock Market . Want stock in the BC Liberals? Ross and Antweiler can sell you some. NDP shares are cheaper at the moment. The two business professors who set up this futures market believe they can give pollsters a run for their money in predicting the election. "When it comes to predicting popular vote share we can often do better than the polls," says Ross.

Linc - Projects - Special Programs In Engineering Students are responsible for coaching, teaching, and mentoring the girls. Simulation of stock market activities A mock participation in the stock market http://www.linc.uiuc.edu/projects/HH/hh_projects.html
Extractions: LINC students have worked and will continue to work with Home Hi (HH) in the development of a program to expose and encourage young women in the field of engineering, math, and sciences. In particular, the students in the class will develop a fun, educational computer science curriculum or design a robotics project. While other project ideas may be possible, students must make sure that the project is something that Home Hi would like to see. Possible projects for Fall 2005: Robotics Robotics program designing, building, programming a robot using the Lego Mindstorm kit. Participation in the FIRST Lego Robotics competition. Students are responsible for coaching, teaching, and mentoring the girls. They would meet 1-2 times per week with the girls, probably more often as it gets closer to the competition date. It would run as an elective class in the afternoon (after 3pm). 6-8 students are needed. Participation in the Science Olympiad As Home Hi never has participated before it would involve doing research about the requirements, structure and demands of such a participation. So in the first year it may not even lead to an actual participation but a testing out the feasibility of such for Home Hi. LINC students would be involved in coaching, teaching, supervising the experiments. It would run as an elective in the afternoon (after 3pm), meeting once a week with the girls. 6-8 students are needed.

Building on the success of a past face-to-face Certificate course, it uses the Blackboard Virtual Learning Environment to bring together lecturers and teachers from a wide variety of linguistic backgrounds - which creates a very rich environment in which to exchange ideas and opinions, and to engage in collaborative projects - and allows us to take a much broader view of language teaching theory and practice around the world. Individual participants also have a chance to explore the pedagogy not only of their primary teaching language, but of other languages with which they may be familiar.
