iCivics Origin,[object Object],[object Object]
Found a basic lack of knowledge about how our government works

The Case for iCivics

Editor's Notes

  1. Looked around and didn’t like what she saw #PalinHistory
  2. #1) systems-based thinking #2) identity, rules, goals #3) inspire inquiry. Civics is largely about process and motivation. It’s not about abstract facts and figures – devoid of applicability and action.Games engage students inside and outside the classroom 24/7. Students are already learning civic skills through games that are not really intent on teaching civics (World of Warcraft). Amada Lindhart. McArthur. Pew. Etc.
  3. Justice O’Connor announced the launch of iCivics.org in May 2010 on Good Morning America. The website has all of the same resources as Ourcourts.org, but with more games for students and greater flexibility for teachers.
  4. iCivics games have been played more than two million times by students from every state and the District of Columbia. The website receives 180,000 visits per month, and user traffic has climbed at an average rate of 72% per month since the iCivics website went live in May 2010. More than 6,000 educators and supporters have signed up for our email list and more than 20,000 people have registered for iCivics accounts. New account creation has grown by a monthly average of 95%.
  5. We've begun releasing smaller games quickly, which provides for more cycles of experimentation.Share your victories!  
  6. Maximum Standards aligned in all 50 states. Looking to align to Common Core Standards in Lit/History.
  7. Civic education has to be 24/7 … if it’s not we’ve failed.Impact Projects hooray. Boys & Girls Club. Civics argumentation, content-based literacy (NextGen grant).
