While developing the digital portfolio, I found some wonderful Interactive Online Simulations from Mission US. This website has created various intense simulations to add in teaching social studies to students. The best part? It's completely free! This is an invaluable tool for educators. In today's digital age, our students prefer to be engaged in technology during learning. This would be a great center activity or even a reward for students wanting computer time. The missions are various topics but feature real and fictional characters! The real characters in the story stay true to historical facts so children are learning about real historic characters while playing a game. The fictional characters stay true to the time and situation and offer a realistic view into life during this time period. Students can engage with the material and never realize they are learning historical content. This simulation is based on decision making so it will develop thinking skills and decision making skills in our students. This website gets an A in my grade book!
