Monday, September 12, 2011 - With students returning back to school this month and next, teachers are looking for a way to teach their kids about finance, the economy and the stock market. Enter StockTrak, the leading provider of stock market educational software since 1990.
With StockTrak’s suite of stock market training sites, teachers from top schools and universities around the world are customizing stock market contests for their classes. These universities include Yale, Columbia, New York University, Cornell and more. T Stock Trak’s stock market simulators are a great way for teachers of all grade levels to demonstrate how the stock market works.
Each student works with a portfolio of diverse funds – from stocks to bonds and beyond – to increase their portfolio by the largest percentage. The student with the largest portfolio at the end of the period wins. This friendly rivalry among students not only appeals to those who learn by doing, it also helps students learn from their peers.
Instead of listening to a vague lecture about theoretical concepts, students can put what they learn into practice with StockTrak’s stock market games. Kids in elementary, middle and high school have all used Stock Trak’s products to successfully learn about the stock exchange. Professor Olga Pak sings StockTrak’s praises, saying “Stock-Trak really helped us foster greater student and faculty interaction while increasing collaboration and group dynamics among student teams.”
StockTrak is now offering a thirty day money back guarantee for their services as well as a low $15 per month fee for using the service. Professors and teachers can sign up at www.stocktrak.com or call 1-800-786-TRAK.
