| Humanities Education for Distance Learning for High School Students: Leveraging Digital Connection and Game-based Learning
iThrive Games Foundation embeds social and emotional learning into academic humanities content, delivering that content to teens through game-based curricula and role-playing simulations. Our iThrive Sim programs, the focus of this proposal, are role-playing simulations that make U.S. government and history come alive for students. We propose to complete three new three-episode scenarios for online, distance learning, one set in a fictional pandemic (Lives in Balance), one addressing media literacy (The Scoop) and one addressing the powers and authority granted by the U.S. Constitution (Constitution in Action).
