GBTeacher - Personal Finance and Accounting Great experience with Skudent Mimic Social High School. Used as part of my Intro to Business and Marketing class. Kids really enjoyed it. I am now teaching Personal Finance and Accounting so I will review the Personal Finance module next year. Thx Nick

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.

GBThe Mimic Social Simulation updates are… The Mimic Social Simulation updates are amazing! I appreciate how rounds are broken into categories, budgets are changed accordingly, and students get a real-world view of being a social media marketing manager. I am disappointed with the instructor provided content. The PowerPoint slides are filled with typos and grammar errors and there is no consistency in formatting. If I want to use parts of these slides, I have to completely rebuild each chapter. The test banks contain all questions already provided in the quizzes, have no application questions, and do not use Blooms taxonomy to scale for higher level thinking. Stukent is on the right track with their materials and they can easily be updated to be more useful for faculty.

GBDigital Marketing and Analytics Class I started using the application for my digital marketing and analytics class and its horrible. The reading screen is so small and there isn't any options to adjust. Given the salty price of $129, we should be able to have something that gives the student a good reading experience.

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.
