1. Service Learning and Civic Participation
My service learning assignment focuses on students becoming involved in their community and voicing their opinions through letter writing. Students react to a media article on a social issue and then write the appropriate organization their ideas about the social issue. This is a great service learning assignment for sociology courses, political science, public policy and others. This assignment does not take the student to an agency or an organization. It can easily be down at the student's convenience.

2. Using the Jeopardy Game for Fun Learning!
The Questor Game available through MCCD is a program similar to the Jeopardy game on television. This is a visual game that students are familiar with. The game is fun learning when you have students break up into groups and compete with other groups for the answers. You can easily type in questions and answers. The screen is similar to the Jeopardy game. This game can be used for any course. I have used it an all of my sociology courses. Some of my colleagues have used it in the math courses.
