My Take
I try to use Mission US in correlation with the classroom teachers and their teaching of US history. The students really enjoy that they can "choose their own adventure" based on how they answer questions in the game.
How I Use It
I use this product to reinforce what our 5th grade Social Studies teacher is teaching the students as far as US history. There were a few times that the website took a long time to load. This made the students very frustrated.
