"It's amazing how pervasive advertising is in our culture. There are the obvious means - billboards, commercials, newspaper inserts - as well as the not-so-obvious channels, like logos on clothing, branded shopping bags, giveaway products, and lots more. Though advertising isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's important for students to recognize it for what it is - a message designed to persuade them to give someone else their money. Admongo, an online game from the Federal Trade Commission, takes students on a journey into a virtual tower that's crawling with advertisements. Along the way, the game teaches kids exactly how they're being marketed to, and how to recognize it when it's happening." (from Instructify) sign-in required
