Deadline is Thursday at 8 a.m. Welcome to Black Hills State UniversityJason Schmit, mail processor, university mail service Altmyer will present at teacher workshopDon Altmyer, assistant professor in the College of Business and Technology at Black Hills State University, will be a presenter at the New York Stock Exchange's 12th Annual Teacher Workshop program.
The title of Altmyer's presentation is "Using an online stock-market simulation to teach business concepts." The presentation shows how teachers can utilize a stock-market simulation game as a cross-discipline teaching tool. Subjects such as accounting, economics, business, social science and history can be enhanced by having students play an online stock market simulation in the classroom. By introducing these students to various financial Internet sites, the Value Line Investment Survey, Investors Business Daily, the Wall Street Journal and a company's annual audited financial statement, business concepts studied in the textbook are given a real-world perspective. Altmyer is the state coordinator for the South Dakota Stock Market Game. Last spring, over 800 students from schools across the state participated in the 10-week simulation game. These teams competed in divisions ranging from elementary school through college. Anagnopoulos speaks at summer psychology institute

The institute invites undergraduate and graduate students interested in aging research from around the nation. The participants are either minority students or interested in issues of minority aging. This year's theme was families. Anagnopoulos was invited to present on Lakota families. The title of her presentation was "Lakota Families and the Role of Elders."
