Post thoughts on iCivics

  • I. Love. ICivics. I think I shared about all my thoughts in class, whether you wanted to hear them or not. 
  • Even so, in having that much love for the iCivics platform, I can admit that they are so totally useless. I never learned anything about bills or laws or gerrymandering when we played these in high school. I just wanted to have more fictional money or upset more of my fictional constituents than my chums. 
  • If I wanted to learn about those judicial systems and processes, I could go to a real .gov site or pick up a book. Games – at least games like that – can’t teach those things.
