Community reviews for iCivics

I think the app is a highly engaging activity that fully immerses the learner into the study of American government. A definite must for Social Studies classrooms.

Wonderful! I have promoted this package to teachers that want to start in a game-based approach. The material is sound and teachers have data on each of their students learning. The website is complete with lessons and suggestions to using the games. If you are interested in engaging your students in civics...this is a must use approach.

I like it. It's a bit childish, but that can be sacrificed for the amazing amount of information that comes out of it.

This website is one of those valuable sites that every teacher should use no matter what subject area you teach. The user friendly interface, simulations, lessons-hard copy available and the level of rigor is exceptional for all types learners and age groups. The activities will encourage collaboration and engagement. The content available will reinforce many of the essential governmental themes as well as provide the students another opportunity to dive deeper with the content and standards.

I have really used the resources of iCivics a lot this year because I have a much more diversified group of student learners. I have found it to be a great, authentic educational tool to reach ALL my students and have them self-evaluate the lesson and their application of curriculum material. I like that students do not need to sign up for the website, even though it does allow for it. I like how it maintains a video game feel while staying focused on educational needs.

iCivics is a great resource to introduce key government concepts and the structure of our government. iCivics is a elementary approach to government, it could easily be called government for beginners. This website is not for upper level learning. However, I enjoyed that students were able to go at their own pace and learn at their own level. The students thoroughly enjoyed the aspect of games that teaches the concepts. I also enjoyed that students were excited to work together in order to complete tasks and learn about the government. iCivics is a great site that introduces government in a fun and exciting way.

I really like this web site and use it weekly. It is easy to follow and gave me some fresh ways to introduce once boring subjects.

I like the way this site allows you to interact. What better way to enhance learning than by giving students actual scenarios and actual time interacting with the topics. Hands-on activities help students commit concepts to long term memory and simulations help them retain even more information.

The app makes learning about civics fun. Students can play games and learn at the same time. The small group interaction makes it great for students to learn to take turns and work together to learn. It is a great app.

This is one of my favorite teaching tools. There is a lot of good information for teachers and well-designed educational games that are fun for students and teachers alike. My only real complaint is that most of the games cannot be played on Android and iOS devices because they require Flash.
