Resource Blog #3

iCivics is a website that offers many resources for teachers. It organizes specific topics by units. I think this would be a good website for teachers to use because it is kid friendly. It is kid friendly in the aspect of the design. The characters and features of the videos and games are cartoons. This might allow for the students to not think of the information as school information, but rather a TV show or movie. This aspect also allows for the teacher to keep the students engaged. The teacher can search under a specific content or by standards. The best part is it is all free! The website is ran on donations and this is what keeps the information public. 

All of the files are accessible once the teacher makes an account. Once you click on the link. It will take you to a google drive filled with multiple activities, charts, mini quizzes and readings for the students and teachers. This resource also has resources that satisfy learning objectives for high school classrooms. This is a great website because it has topics that range from the three branches of government to the Boys and Girls Club of America. I can see myself personally using this resource in my classroom, specifically because of the different ways to convey certain information while also keeping the information interesting.
