High interest, focused learning

My Take

While the progression of tasks is well organized, the "animation" is going to be viewed as "old-fashioned" and even "boring." It has the look of a 1990s digital event, rather than a 2016 hip product. Skateboarding itself is interesting to many urban kids, but there are no images of skateboards, skateboarding, skate parks, or anything else associated with the topic until the "adult skater" shows up at the end. Even with these flaws, however, the tool can be a useful introduction, and students can be challenged to make their own "interview video" based on the learning gained from the simulation.
