Very cool tool that lets you make your own posters. Use their images or your own. Create your own title and text. This could be dangerous.

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."
