Financials (AStock Game, Straight2Bank, Bloomberg)

AStock Game

A great tool to teach you some of the basics about investment. You actually get to spend a hefty chunk of cash buying and selling stock on the internet. Then you watch your stock and bonds rise and fall in real time.


Straight2Bank

Designed for StanChart users, it is one of the first applications that i have come across that puts some pretty
useful tools in the hands of business people.


Bloomberg

I have placed this tool in the finance section even if i use it more for news. I appreciate the simplicty of the interface and have access to expertise on a good range of subjects. I can get some opinions on Law, On Business as well as current affairs.
I get most of this stuff in the form of brief podcasts which i can ruminate on as my knowledge in these fields increases.

Education 2.0

Education 2.0 ? A few interesting but seemingly unrelated events are taking place as we speak. The internet is changing the way we think about education and the manner in which we communicate (socialize). At the centre of this dramatic change, groups like google realized a quite a while back that someone had to put all this new information in order for others to utilize. And so they invaded search and in some sense are attempting to monopolize it.  Universities and educational institutions chose not to be left behind and began initiatives in which they explored extensively the area of online education. As they sensed the push toward open source models they went on to create platforms in their institutions where information could be shared and some lectures provided at no cost. While core aspects of their learning materials were retained, students and learning enthusiasts were free to engage in intensive learning experiences with top level schools in the U.S and in the U.K wh...
