Discover how Common Sense Education’s award-winning digital literacy and citizenship curriculum seamlessly integrates into blended-learning environments.
Digital Compass is developmentally appropriate for middle school students with opportunities to the do the following: explore, experiment, make decisions (deductive reasoning), rationalize (abstract thinking), take risks, judge conventions (conventional reasoning), assert individuality, express themselves, form relationships (non-platonic), and interact with peers. It provides a safe place, a walled garden experience, to explore decisions and their outcomes.

Well,
Bosssssssssessw
I don't know how to rate this game. Because we play it at school a lot. And, the internet and connection is really bad, so most of the time, we can’t even get on it. So i rate it a four
This animation is actually terrifying.

I think it’d be okay if it weren’t for the scary characters and bad animation.
YAY!!!! YOU DID IT MISS STEPHENS!
Love this app123469
I am going to share this game with Grant and my carpool I haven't tested it yet but I wanted to say congrats. I was a tester and a study group in making this app. It was made by the best 3rd grade teacher ever so I know no one will be disappointed. Sorry for the grammar if I messed up.
