To keep up my rep as being one of the coolest people around, I spent this evening playing around on the computer with my Free Cell game (a kind of solitaire) and trying to improve my score. Since I didn't think that alone would qualify me in the coolest of the cool category, I also was playing around with a game that Mr. Burns sent a bunch of us Social Studies teachers.
Now, don't let the fact that it was Mr. Burns who sent it to me deter you, this game is really awesome! It's called the "Place States" game and the object is to put each state in its rightful place on a map of the US. The challenging aspect is that there are no state borders given and you just sort of have to know where the states are supposed to go. Too nifty, huh?
So far my high score is 94% accuracy in 331 seconds with a 6 mile error. See if you can beat that!!!! It's a great way to prepare for a 50 state map quiz which we will be having at some point! Good Luck!
