Community reviews for Stop Disasters!

This tool is fantastic as a self-paced enrichment activity. It could be made even better if the company that made the game included step-by-step guided learning lesson plans. It was appropriate for the middle school level, and all students that used the tool enjoyed it.

While the graphics are a little old school (or Minecraft style if you prefer), the content and gameplay are advanced. There is a requirement for critical thinking while under a time duress. The impending disaster is coming, regardless of your actions. Students learning that they may not be able to save everyone, is a powerful learning tool for developing their problem-solving skills. I find the game very challenging and I always want to do better.

I really enjoyed using stop disasters in every way. It is a great way to teach social studies/government skills and teach them ways to be prepared in and outside of school for disasters. I would like to have more resources to use in follow up lessons or to have the students work on at a later time.
