My Classroom Economy can work for any grade level. Tailored to the learning ability of your students, the program has the same overall objectives for all grades-to instill basic financial responsibility and teach the value of delayed gratification. The core principle is simple: Students earn and spend money in a simulated microeconomy. As the grade levels increase, we incorporate additional financial concepts. For example, students in all grades pay rent for their desks, but students in middle school also pay an electricity bill as well as taxes. For high school students, we include experiential learning activities targeted at teaching the foundations of investing and purchasing insurance.

Teachers, trainers, and content publishers use Zaption's intuitive web app to quickly add images, text, quizzes, and discussions to existing videos from YouTube, Vimeo and private video libraries. The result is an interactive learning tour that transforms video from a "lean back" experience to an engaging "lean forward" activity. With Zaption's analytics, instructors get immediate feedback on how students interact with the content and understand key concepts.
