The session included using Google Finance to look at stock performances over a period of time. The children soon noticed the downward trend in stocks recently!
The web link for linking to Excel was from MoneyExtra.com importing the data from the FTSE 100.
Our sessions will continue next week after the children have researched stocks as possible investments.

Thanks for sharing this and I hope you are feeling better.
This sounds like a fantastic experience for your students, please share your future sessions, I can't wait to hear about them.
Thanks!

It was a great evening, it ended late for me, but I was thrilled to be able to show students how to use a piece of software remotely. Dimdim allowed us to share my desktop in New Zealand with 33 students in the UK, the time lag was not too long and has proved that this kind of remote teaching of skills is entirely possible and practical.
The children here just accepted this lesson from David as the norm - true digital natives! The adults in the room are the ones watching mouth open as we hear and see David showing us via dimdim what to do! This was great start to our project and we are looking foreard to next week.
nice and thanks.
