This is a free simulation game for 12+ where learners are able to virtually "live" the lives of someone across the globe. They make choices and face circumstances faced by people in those parts of the world, choice available jobs, battle diseases, navigate unstable political terrain. The program is based on all current data from the United Nations, World Health Organization, and other international aid organizations and links with Google maps as well. This game would be useful for middle school or high school world cultures or politics courses, and also in different enrichment or afterschool activities. From the website:"Experience life as a: * Peasant farmer in Bangladesh * Factory worker in Brazil * Policeman in Nigeria * Lawyer in the United States * Computer operator in Poland or any of thousands more ... Through statistically accurate events, Real Lives brings to life different cultures, political systems, economic opportunities, personal decisions, health issues, family issues, schooling, jobs, religions, geography, war, peace, and more. As your students make decisions for their characters and experience the consequences of those decisions they will learn about the world and gain an increased appreciation of their own culture and the cultures of other peoples."

It wasn't until after I registered that it hit me, I have these kits in my library! Teachers come in and drool over them because they're complete and most of the time, the kits the teachers have in their classrooms are completely empty. Teachers register for free and share their username and password with their students. This is the middle school module, they also have modules for K-2, and 3-6.
