Banqer team

In my class we learn lots about financial literacy by using the Banqer app.  Students get a weekly wage, get paid for jobs, buy houses, sign up for Kiwisaver and save in term deposits.  We pay rent for storage, internet and have auctions at the end of each term.

Recently I joined the Banqer team in a voluntary role where I give regular feedback and help develeop the app. This is another opportunity to connect with others in the education sector and to broaden my connections.

Another positive is that my class and I get access to new modules earlier than most other users, later this week my students will need to decide on their preferred mode of transport. We'll see how it goes.

Update:

I have shared my connection to the Banqer team with my class, they have given me many ideas to pass on that they would like  developed.  Some ideas were:

• Sharemarket
• Currency trading
• Investing in companies
• Lending and borrowing to classmates
