GBI really prefer this program over the… I really prefer this program over the other budgeting activities I have done. It is the most real-world program I have used and it throws in the unexpected, which parallels real-life. The students enjoy it. Further, I am not a tech-savvy teacher. Their support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly.

GBOverall great curriculum and product Overall great curriculum and product. I selected this because of the nice video cases, easy to use materials, support -- a turnkey offering that I can add my take on. Mostly, the simulation is key. I am still looking for a little more support on the simulation. I'd like more specifics on how it works and results. I would also suggest some debrief videos. 5 stars then. 4 for now. Also, please add a template for a marketing plan.

GBI LOVED the previous Stukent format… I LOVED the previous Stukent format with posting and analytics rounds. I used it for two years and can't say enough how awesome it was! For high school students, the analytics rounds were where they truly gained the insights they needed to improve. The new version has no analytics rounds and I am incredibly disappointed. Please add the analytics rounds back in. High school students have no way to dive into social media analytics other than this tool. While students can still simulate posting, without forcing them to examine the analytics they quite simply won't likely do it on their own.

GBAwesome experience My students loved feeling like they were in the real world! They liked earning money without working and they appreciated all the ways they could earn more money (and lose money through fines and life happens).

GBMy students love the simulation! My students are enjoying the simulation. They like the idea of getting paid every Monday and having bills due on Friday. They also love the Life Happens activities. They look forward to the performance reviews so they can earn raises and raise their credit scores. They watch the stock market to see if they are earning or losing over time. I think this is reinforcing the skills we are learning in class.
