Stock Market Simulation WebQuest 2015

Use you Stock Market WebQuest worksheet to do the eTextbook goals, Stock Market activities on the Dow and NASDAQ, and then you can play the simulations.

Stock Market Simulation 1

This one is more complex and has a variety of scenarios. It also uses real company stock for examples.

How'd you do? Record your percent return on your worksheet.  Remember, you started with $15,000.  Also keep in mind that this is just a simulator--you'll never see returns like this in real life.

Stock Market Simulation 2?
If you still have time check out a Khan Academy simulation.  See me (or comment) if you find another one that you like too.

Bonus question:
Was the 1929 crash the biggest stock market crash in U.S. history? It depends on how you measure it. Check out more online if you have time.

Accessing the Tablet Version (will not work on phones)

You need to have the Pearson eText for Schools app installed on your tablet (Android or Apple).  Then enter your username and password for the eTextbook.  This process and even the logo change often so see me if it is not working.  As far as I know, this will not work on phones.

Troubleshooting Guide

1. Can’t access the login page? 
   Check to see if your internet is working for other sites.  If it is, check to see that you’ve spelled the address correctly:   www.pearsonsuccessnet.com or just Google successnet and it should be the first result. 
2. Can’t log in? 
   Do you have the user name and password your teacher gave you?  If not you’ll need one.  If you do and still can’t log in, check that you’re spelling everything exactly the same.  Also check your caps lock key (no caps!)  One letter off will cause it to fail.
3. You’ve logged in but when you click on the textbook you don’t get anything?
   Check your internet settings for pop-up blockers.  The textbook wants to open in a new window, but if pop-ups are blocked you’ll get nothing.  (Sometimes there will be a bar at the top of your window telling you it has blocked a pop-up; click on the bar and you should be able to allow them for this website.)
4. You’ve logged in but when you click on the textbook you get an error message?
   Are you sure you turned off the pop-up blocker?  Try restarting your browser or using a different browser.  Also make sure that your browser and plug-ins are updated. 
5. Anything else?  Contact Pearson tech support or write down specifics about your problem and see me after school.

Stock Market Simulation II

This one is more complex and has a variety of scenarios. It also uses real company stock for examples.

How'd you do? Record your percent return on your worksheet.  Remember, you started with $15,000.  Also keep in mind that this is just a simulator--you'll never see returns like this in real life.

Bonus question:
