My Take
I like it. It's a bit childish, but that can be sacrificed for the amazing amount of information that comes out of it.
How I Use It
I would use this website for teaching highschoolers civics. Yes, it does look childish, and the site is pretty static, but the information is top notch. It would most likely be used to teach civics as a beginning and middle subject. This means that I would use it to introduce and to assess the students' learning before the finalization of the subject.
