    Rand McNally launched a free online tool for students and teachers to learn more about the presidential election process.

"Play the Election" was created in collaboration with ImpactGames and is powered by ImpactGames' Knight News Game award winning platform."

Home: About CAP Civic Action Project | High School Civics Government Curriculum | Lesso... - 0 views

  • Civic Action Project (CAP) is a project-based learning model for civics and government courses. It offers a practicum for high school students in effective and engaged citizenship and uses blended learning to engage students in civic activities both in and out of the traditional U.S. government classroom. By using web-based technology and civics-based instruction and activities, students exercise important 21st century skills in digital literacy, critical thinking, collaboration, self-direction, and learning to be an engaged and effective citizen in a democracy.

iLearn Technology » Blog Archive » Admongo: "Aducation" learning about advert... - 0 views

  • A look at advertising can introduce students to persuasive writing, the effect of different music, colors and mediums, critical thinking and problem solving.
  • I like to have students to consider both sides of advertising.  First, what does it mean to be a consumer and how does advertising play into that?  Second, how would you create an advertisement that reaches a target audience?
  • You can also tie advertising to history by asking students to look at World War II posters
