Computer game draws students into an interactive world of financial know-how - JSOnline


Computer game draws students into an interactive world of financial know-how - JSOnline:

"Mark Schug is looking for high school and middle school operatives to help computer game heroine Monique return financial power to the people.

The retired education professor's search begins Friday at a meeting of economics teachers at Miller Park.

Schug says the 90-plus teachers attending the meeting of the Association of School Economics Teachers are perfect recruiters for the new game he created with two other financial literacy advocates.

'Monique is demanding - she only wants right answers,' said Schug, a retired education professor."
