  • it would also be a mistake not to take seriously the role of new communications media in understanding civic life. In democratic states, citizens need information about what challenges a government faces and what it’s proposing to do about it to be effective citizens. And citizens need to be able to connect with one another to discuss, debate and propose solutions. What a communications medium makes possible has a shaping influence on civic life.

    Video games meet serious citizen education. Try your hand at Argument Wars (using avatars to mock argue an actual Supreme Court case from the past) or at other games / simulations oriented around each of the three branches of government.
