    Rand McNally launched a free online tool for students and teachers to learn more about the presidential election process. "An accompanying online teacher resource center includes lesson plans based on the Common Core Standards making it easy to integrate the games and activities into the classroom.   Features of "Play the Election" Digital Learning Game * Interactive electoral map - Breaks down the Electoral College by state, details past election results, real-time polling data, election-related headlines, and more. * Digital Mini-Games - Students can choose from eleven different mini-games that reinforce key concepts of the election, delve deeper into the issues of influential and battleground states, and tie core civics curriculum to current events. * Standards-aligned lesson plans - Professionally-created lesson plans for educators that cover key aspects of the 2012 Election, the Electoral College, and major debates. * Student Access - Each student creates their own unique profile that allows them to save and edit their own electoral map, play and track their progress through the games, and see how their answers stack up against those of others in their class or the country. * Create Your Own Games - Teachers can create their own mini-games to reinforce key concepts or to teach new, related events. "Play the Election" was created in collaboration with ImpactGames and is powered by ImpactGames' Knight News Game award winning platform."

  • Welcome to #KidVote Mock Election for the upcoming US Presidential Election in November 2012.
  • DEADLINE TO SIGN UP: Friday, October 19, 2012. This will allow my students have time to prepare everything they need to track the data, and more importantly, get it shared on Election Day!
  • Thank you all for taking this event to the next level for our students. A mock election is fun, but a mock election shared with the whole country? THAT’s what 21st century learning is all about: collaboration and authentic experiences!

  • 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.

    "Think "fantasy football for social studies and literacy standards". Teachers sign up, have a draft in class, and use scores and resources however they want. Students draft teams of countries, become more aware, and automatically score points every time their countries are mentioned in the NY Times. FGP engages students in the study of how politics, geography, humans, economics, and foreign policy interact."
