Why Choose CWPubOnline?

WHY CHOOSE CWPUBONLINE?

To have a student say to you that an assignment is such fun is magical. She said that about the On Your Own task. I absolutely love this site and the joy of real life simulations that it brings to me and my classroom!

I love this software! It was the highlight of the year for many of my kids and that included robots, CAD and a lot of other cool stuff! At the end of the unit, I asked the kids for one big lesson they had learned and several said, 'You can't afford insurance, but you can't afford NOT to have it, either.' What a great lesson. I'm thrilled that my own daughter was in that class. And my adult friends love hearing the kids say things like 'What happened to all of my food?' and 'What do you mean, I have to pay $700? I have insurance!' or 'What's a deductible?' Thanks so much for this awesome learning experience!

My students and I love these simulations. They are engaging and reinforce the topics that we discuss all semester long. Thank you for creating innovative, engaging resources for teachers to use in our classrooms for a more hands-on learning approach. Thank you for awesome work!

My students LOVE the programs and it has helped them tremendously!

I love your modules and am using them with a freshman careers class and an upperclass Independent Living class. I'm also very impressed by the new materials you recently added. Thank you so much for all you do for educating students and assisting teachers!

I've used CWPubOnline in my classroom for a number of years. My students love the On Your Own simulation. I recommend it to other financial literacy teachers I'm in contact with at conferences I attend.

I purchased the DVD for our school several years back. I have been using it for all of my classes for over 8 years. We love it, and I am so excited about transitioning to the online version.
