Great Depression Simulation

This is an engaging educational app in which students get to experience what it was like to live through the boom of the 1920s and the Great Depression. Students go through several rounds in which they have to choose how to spend and save their money. One option for saving money is the stock market which can offer several surprises along the way. There are other surprises which simulate the events of the 1920s and the Great Depression. The app starts with a short reading familiarizing students with basic terms and events of the Great Depression. After the simulation, there is a short quiz to check students' understanding. There really is no better way to learn a subject than through a simulation. The creator of this app is currently a teacher of the social studies who understands the needs of the classroom more than any other programmer or corporation.
