Re: [LM_NET] Tar: Simulated stock market games for middle school

["Dr. Michael Bell" <drmichaelbell@VIRTUALLRC.COM>]

Dear Jan,

I did a search on the Infotopia Safe Search Engine
(http://www.infotopia.info) for the phrase "Simulated stock market games".

I got a lot of great hits that should be of interest to your project. 
Hope this helps!
