- KidCitizen: Designing an App for Inquiry with Primary Sources Berson, Ilene R. Berson, Michael J. Snow, Bert Primary Sources Computer Software Computer Assisted Instruction Educational Games Civics Government (Administrative Body) Elementary School Students Inquiry Game-based learning not only contributes to a learning environment that is interesting and engaging for students but also fosters collaboration while meeting educational goals. Recognizing the potential of digital games to promote primary-source use for discovery and problem-solving, the Library of Congress established funding to advance the development of digital apps for a variety of grade levels. The KidCitizen project aims to develop a free cross-platform app that provides game-based learning activities with primary sources for K-5 students. KidCitizen's interdisciplinary team of historians, educators, child development specialists, and game designers are integrating the Inquiry Design Model with game-based learning approaches. The KidCitizen app, which will be accessible to teachers this spring, provides authentic, age appropriate interaction with primary-source materials, is guided by research-informed practices and evidence-based pedagogy, engages children in exploring civics and government concepts through historical sources, and helps them make connections with their daily lives.
