11 Can students under 18 use the site?
Of course! We always encourage our users, especially kids, to be safe online, and we're always making sure that We Seed is appropriate and guarded with your students in mind. If students are under 13, please see our note below.
back to top
12 Can students under 13 use the site?
Children under 13 are welcome to use the site, but can only do so with a parent or guardian's permission and guidance. A parent/ guardian can create an account correlated to their email address. They will then be able to create a sub-portfolio (or multiple sub-portfolios) for each child. These portfolios are directly linked to the parent/ guardian's account to safeguard these young students, in conjunction with federal laws.

13 Can I copy the lesson plans or post them on my school wiki?
Definitely. We Seed's lessons are here for everyone to use. Download them. Print them. Share them. Maybe even challenge the classroom down the hall.
back to top
14 How can I organize my classes within We Seed?
An educator can create either a Team or Group. They can then choose whether to create an "Open" or "Moderated" Group or Team.
back to top
15 What is the difference between a Team or Group? What does ???Open??? versus ???Moderated??? mean?
In a team, all of the students work together to build and manage one Portfolio. This means everyone decides as a group which stocks to buy and which stocks to sell. Then you can compare how your team's Portfolio is doing against other team's Portfolio's. Teams can be very useful if you want to break your students into smaller groups to compete against one another.
In a Group, each of the students has an individual portfolio and their actions are tracked within the group environment. Group investment and progress is aggregated from the individual progress of each member.
In a Moderated Group or Team, students can request to join the group but must be approved by the group administrator.
In an Open Group or Team, students can join the group without approval. Keep in mind, however, that any We Seed user can join the group without approval.

Right now, there is not a way to formally challenge another team. However, many groups or classrooms partake in a little friendly competition among themselves. So feel free to start an informal competition with the class down the hall to see who can pick the best stocks over the course of a week, or even a month. Just search for their group name under the Share tab and take a peek at how your competition is doing.

24 How are you different from other stock-market simulation sites?
Other stock-market simulation sites are based on competition, which encourages a superficial knowledge of investing. But We Seed wants users to learn about the market on their own, which will help them further down the road. The site also offers videos, blogs, learning materials, and is completely free. The bottom line: We Seed is about getting smart, not getting rich.

25 Can I turn off the member comments and email functionality?
Member comments cannot be turned off. But you can change your email preferences in your profile settings.
