If we are replicating the real world, what's the point of making an income if you can't spend it? While our Banking and Real Estate modules provide the necessary part of spending (bills, housing, etc.), our Shopping module gives students the opportunity to see what it's like to buy the stuff they might want. Our virtual stores let students stock their pantry, garage and home with items like groceries, toys, clothes and cars - all in an effort to teach the cost of living and needs vs. wants spending. In addition to our virtual stores, teachers and schools can create custom reward stores for physical items or certificates that students can purchase online and redeem in your school / classroom. These custom stores are perfect to bring your classroom reward or token economy online.
Would you love to introduce your students to a weekly or bi-weekly paycheck, or recurring bills (weekly or monthly) but simply do not not have the time or energy to keep up with that kind of recurring effort? Maybe you are currently doing this with multiple apps, Google docs and forms, and maybe a assistant? With Replicated Reality, you can let the platform do the work for you! We have built in automated processes that you can initiate by just assigning students a job or a bill - the system will do the rest. Payroll will run automatically on your schedule and bills will be invoiced weekly or monthly, depending on the individual bill. Setup for these processes are simple, and will stay in place year after year - giving you your time back for more important things!
