Was reading this the other day, there thinking about using it in classrooms as an educational tool that engages kids...

Wow, 8th grade really? I guess they better start investing a lot more money on public education.

Ha! I wish! Maybe then our kids would be smarter and be able to compete with the education of other countries! Turn off the lights and see how many of them will be able to survive - not many I'm willing to bet.

...and while they're at it, they need to pay teachers more money for all the hard work they do (only the good teachers, mind you).

I'm currently enjoying AC2 since I never owned it. I rented it previously & thought it was okay, but now that it's free & I have more time to delve deeper into it, I'm finding out that the game is fantastic, especially from a historical standpoint since
I'm going to school to become a middle grades education teacher that specializes in social studies. Great stuff! I may even consider picking up the other AC games.

PR is a good start, but there are also Education Specific resources that might have more information on more specific outreach departments.

Here are a few links I've found:

• Microsoft Tools and Resources for Teachers & Educators
• Microsoft Education Center
• Tools for the Classroom

Now, those are North American links, and they might have equivalent links for A/NZ, but might be worth checking out to reach someone who can get you connected to the right people if it's possible.

ignorant people like you running around.
