Best Online Stock Trading Brokers for 2018 If you’re looking for a way to build more wealth in 2018, getting started with one of the best online brokerage accounts is a solid first step. Doing so will allow you to invest outside your traditional retirement accounts and on your own terms. The best part is, the best online brokerage firms charge little or no fees and offer excellent resources that can help you learn more about investing along the way. Of course, not all brokerage firms are created equal, and that’s why we took the time to break down each of their details and rank the top options on an array of factors. If you’re looking for a new way to invest this year and are ready to strike out on your own, the following online brokerage accounts should be at the top of your list.What Matters When You Trade Stocks on Your Own? Managing your own money can be a stressful endeavor. To minimize this, and to minimize information overload that tends to come from watching the markets 24/7, there are a few must-haves to look for in an online broker. Clean interface. When I trade, I want to be able to easily find my order entry ticket. I don’t want it buried under a number of drop downs. This interface should have intuitive access to see your balance, available cash, positions with real time P/L and all be easily navigated. Quick access to basic charting. A chart tells me where the stock has been recently. I don’t trade minute to minute anymore, so I don’t need complex tools like stochastics or retracement lines. All that’s important is that I have a basic chart on a yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and intra day time period. I use a chart to see current price relative to those time periods, mainly to avoid purchasing at a bad price. Low fees. One of the biggest roadblocks to building wealth is fees incurred to invest your hard-earned dollars. Because the fees charged by different brokerage firms vary so dramatically, it’s crucial to seek out options that charge low fees (or no fees) for account management and trades. There are over 50 online brokerages where you can open an account. Beyond the my three rules above, best online brokerage accounts aren’t just for trading stocks. Sure, many of them started as online stock trading accounts, but now they’re full-fledged trading, saving, investing, retirement planning, and banking machines. This industry is more complex than the average person thinks. You shouldn’t just pick any online broker and sign up for an account. The best online broker for one person is often completely different for the next person. Use this resource as a guide to your decision process. Figure out what features are best for you, and make your selection. What Makes a Great Online Broker? I analyzed a number of elements to come to my decision on which brokers are the best. Later in this post, I provide full details on how I selected the best online brokerages. When you take all the features, resources, trading platforms, and technology into account (while also considering every type of trader), the full-service brokers, like E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade are the best for the largest number of people. For those simply looking to make cheap trades, I would recommend going with Optionshouse. If you’re a very advanced trader, high-volume trader, or a professional who manages money, I recommend going with Interactive Brokers. However, I didn’t include Interactive Brokers on my list because they’re best for a very small group of traders and the platform is very complex. Top Qualities of Standout Online Trading Platforms Quality trading tools and technology Multiple trading platforms for all levels of traders Excellent mobile trading features Solid navigation that displays the relevant information where you want it Quality educational resources and research for trader development There’s more to selecting an online broker than price. You have to consider the resources you’re getting for the cost you pay per trade. For example, my colleague, who is also an ex-trader, likes to use a combination of stock and options trade in his longer-term trading. He recently switched over to Fidelity because he really liked the cash management features, but was very disappointed by complex order entry, sub-par options execution and frustrating navigation. He’s currently making the switch to one of the brokers I profile here.

Strategi Pengembangan Literasi dan Pembelajar Sepanjang Hayat Siswa

Strategi-Strategi Pengembangan Literasi dan Pembelajar Sepanjang Hayat Siswa

NoveHasanah.Blogspot.Co.Id
Sebagaimana telah mulai dimaklumkan kepada semua pendidik di tanah air, bahwa kemampuan literasi generasi penerus bangsa (baca siswa) sangatlah penting untuk pembangunan insan Indonesia. Sumber daya insan yang besar ini haruslah menjadi generasi emas, generasi yang bisa bersaing bahkan unggul dari bangsa lain. Lalu bagaimanakah taktik yang sanggup digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan ini?

Strategi Pengembangan Literasi dan Pembelajar Sepanjang Hayat Siswa Strategi Pengembangan Literasi dan Pembelajar Sepanjang Hayat Siswa
Strategi Pengembangan Literasi dan Pembelajar Sepanjang Hayat Siswa

Berikut ini beberapa taktik yang sanggup digunakan oleh guru untuk membuatkan kemampuan literasi dan membentuk huruf pembelajar sepanjang hayat (lifelong learner):
1.    Mengacu kepada kebutuhan siswa (anak)
2.    Mengembangkan penunjang huruf pembelajar sepanjang hayat
3.    Mengakomodasi perbedaan masing-masing pembelajar
4.    Mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi (Higher Order Thinking Skills – HOTS)
5.    Memungkinkan pembelajar untuk memakai semua proses berbahasa (membaca, menulis, menyimak, dan berbicara)

Mengacu Kepada Kebutuhan Siswa (Anak)

Pembelajaran harus memperhatikan konteks dan kebutuhan anak. Anak tidak akan mau (terstimulasi) untuk berguru jikalau mereka tidak merasa hal itu sebagai sesuatu yang dibutuhkannya. Atau, tidak sesuai dengan konteks di mana, dan kapan mereka berada. Ketika pembelajaran berbasis kebutuhan dan konteks, maka tak perlu pemaksaan untuk menciptakan mereka belajar.

Siswa akan menyenangi pembelajaran yang berbasis kebutuhan dan konteks. Mereka akan bersungguh-sungguh mengikutinya alasannya yaitu akan menganggap pembelajaran itu sebagai sesuatu yang penting bagi diri mereka atau komunitasnya.

Tidak akan ada pembelajaran yang sia-sia jikalau memperhatikan apa yang menjadi kebutuhan mereka. Tidak ada pembelajaran yang tidak bermakna apabila pembelajaran selalu memperhatikan konteks, sehingga bersesuaian dengan mereka.

Mengembangkan Penunjang Karakter Pembelajar Sepanjang Hayat (Lifelong Learner)

Dunia selalu berubah. Berkembang dari waktu ke waktu. Sesuatu yang dianggap gres dan canggih pada suatu zaman, dengan cepat akan menjadi sesuatu yang kuno dan ketinggalan. Karena itu setiap anak harus menjadi pembelajar sepanjang hayat. Mereka harus bisa mempelajari perubahan-perubahan yang ada di sekitarnya sehingga tidak terasing dari lingkungannya.

Zaman dulu orang memakai mesin tik untuk pekerjaan kantor. Sekarang, orang harus memakai komputer, kemudian kini mungkin sudah sanggup mengerjakannya dengan bermacam-macam alat (gadget) lain. Kecanggihan teknologi perlu diikuti dan tidak ada daerah lain untuk mempelajarinya secara khusus, kecuali secara mandiri. Karena itu, membentuk huruf pembelajar sepanjang hayat yaitu suatu hal yang sangat krusial.

Seorang pembelajar sepanjang hayat sanggup berguru di mana saja, kapan saja, dengan siapa saja, atau memakai apa saja. Ia akan mempelajari hal-hal gres yang menjadi interest dan kebutuhannya secara mandiri. Sikap ini sangat penting dimiliki setiap siswa kita semoga menjadi anggota masyarakat yang maju.

Mengakomodasi Perbedaan pada Masing-Masing Siswa (Pembelajar)

Setiap orang mempunyai perbedaan. Begitu pula dalam hal cara dan gaya berguru mereka. Karena itu guru perlu memperhatikan setiap siswanya secara khusus untuk menyediakan kegiatan-kegiatan berguru yang menunjang gaya berguru mereka. Dengan demikian, setiap orang di dalam kelas yang diampu oleh guru akan merasa dihargai, merasa diterima, dan tentu saja nyaman dan lebih gampang belajar. Cara termudah melaksanakan hal ini yaitu dengan melaksanakan bermacam-macam kegiatan pembelajaran. Kegiatan berguru yang bervariasi dan tidak monoton begitu-begitu saja yaitu kuncinya. Pembelajaran mencakup kegiatan hands on activity, juga minds on activity, memakai simbol-simbol visual, benda positif (realia), musik, dan gerak.

Mengembangkan Keterampilan Berpikir Tingkat Tinggi Siswa

Untuk membuatkan literasi siswa dan mendorong mereka menjadi pebelajar sepanjang hayat, maka pembelajaran harus memperhatikan betapa pentingnya penggunaan dan melatihkan keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Dengan selalu melatih siswa secara kontinyu, maka keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi (HOTS = Higher Order Thingking Skills) akan menjadi bersifat autonomos atau otomatis. Keterampilan ini akan berfungsi dengan baik jikalau diberi stimulus yang sempurna dalam pembelajaran. Karena itu guru perlu menyediakan kegiatan-kegiatan yang menunjang mereka untuk selalu memakai keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi ini.

Penggunaan Proses-Proses Berbahasa Siswa (Anak)

Keterampilan berbahasa membaca, menulis, menyimak (mendengarkan) dan berbicara sangatlah penting dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan dalam dunia kerja. Karena itu seyogyanya siswa selalu memperoleh kesempatan untuk berlatih kemampuan berbahasa ini melalui pembelajaran di kelas.

Kemampuan membaca misalnya, sangat diharapkan untuk menemukan solusi suatu permasalahan melalui materi bacaan yang relevan. Kemampuan menulis sangat penting untuk meminta sesuatu, atau menjelaskan sesuatu secara tertulis baik secara singkat ataupun panjang dengan bermacam-macam cara, contohnya melalui surat elektronik (email) ataupun dalam bentuk buku, karya ilmiah, dan sebagainya. Begitu pula kemampuan berbahasa dalam hal mendengarkan (menyimak) dan berbicara. Semuanya sangat penting bagi kehidupan mereka kelak. Apa yang disebutkan di atas hanyalah sedikit pola bagaimana kemampuan proses berbahasa itu sangat penting.

Pada intinya, pembelajar memerlukan kemampuan membaca, menulis, mendengar (menyimak) dan berbicara untuk memecahkan problem (problem solving) dan mengambil keputusan (decicion making). Jadi, keterampilan proses berbahasa yaitu alat yang sangat penting dalam berguru mereka.

Keempat proses berbahasa ini saling bekerjasama erat. Tidak cukup bila sekolah hanya mengajarkan proses berbahasa menulis dan membaca saja.


Demikian beberapa taktik untuk membangun literasi siswa dan huruf pembelajar sepanjang hayat (lifelong learner).
