Learning often involves becoming immersed in a topic well enough to see things from a different perspective.  Mission U.S. is just such an immersive experience.  Mission U.S. is an interactive first person simulation of life during the U.S. Revolutionary period. As a player you become Nat Wheeler and make a series of decisions and take on a series of tasks to progresss through the gameplay.  Based on your decisions you either become a revolutionary or a loyalist and you can never know fully which direction each choice might take you.

This project will be highlighted in UEN's Professional Development Faculty Lounge.  Visit http://www.uen.org/facultylounge at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday December 2 to join in or Click Here (http://www.uensd.org/facultylounge/) to see the archives.  The archives are usually posted within a week of the original webcast.
