My Civics Engagement Site

I feel that that The Messengers game made by The Smarties will do an effective job teaching players about civics. In this game the president must deliver a letter to a cabinet member who has expertise in the letter's contents. I think this game will teach players about some of the responsibilities of cabinet members and what their expertise are too. I also think this game will teach players that the president only has a certain amount of time to deliver letters to cabinet members.

Civics Engagement Game

I am part of the Muffinator group and we are making a game about the process a bill goes through to get passed. This game will help people better understand the very long and complicated process to passing a bill. We still haven't figured out a name for our game, but I am pretty sure we will go with First Ink, pretty cool isn't it.

BIG C's Game Reviews

I played Darfur is Dying and Sound Toy. I liked Darfur is Dying because It opened my eyes on what is happening in Sudan. http://www.darfurisdying.com/

I thought Sound Toy was entertaining but at the same time pointless. http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/resources/en/play/Casual/soundtoy
