This website allows your students to "trade" crypto-currencies virtually.  Talk about a real world tie in! I'm a big fan of the blockchain, and if you aren't up to speed on how it is revolutionizing the way the web works, let me know and I'd be happy to give you some background info you can share with your class.

This can be a great activity for math students, teaching percentages, and basic buy low-sell high economics, or in social studies classes to examining how currencies work.

It currently does not have a mobile app, but the mobile website works well.

3D Printing resources in the classroom! I have used this patform before to develop curriculum, and it works GREAT! It is all web-based, so an ipad or chromebook will work just fine. Terrific for tying in careers in manufacturing and engineering, while teaching concepts such as coordinate geometry, volume, ratios and measurements :-)
