iCivics by Sandra Day O’Connor

Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor was worried about students’ lack of knowledge about our government. Deciding to do something about it, in 2009, she founded iCivics. O’Connor says she wanted to make learning about civics motivating for students, so her company created, according to Common Sense Media, “an engaging educational site cleverly disguised as a gaming spot, with innovative games, cute animated characters, and a real-world reward component.” Topics covered include: Citizenship and Participation, Separation of Powers, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights, The Legislative Branch, The Judicial Branch, The Executive Branch, and Budgeting. You and your students can access iCivics on its Website.
