• Welcome to the Flashback Web Demo.

    FLASHBACK is the first mission-based, socially-networked, history and civics learning game for teenagers that engages them on the digital media platforms they use: the Web, television, and mobile devices.

    The first test was overwhelmingly successful. In ten days, with a community of 300 teenagers across the country - there were 1200 completed missions, with over 200,000 page views. 80% of the students liked FLASHBACK more than regular class, and 11 of 12 teachers said they would definitely use it again.

    FLASHBACK was created by Floating World Media, and made possible by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

  • The top navigation bar looks like this - where a user is invited to either "play," "jabber" (i.e. communicate), or find out what the site is all about. The "about" section is especially useful for teachers with many tools (including customizable rubrics, a forum to exchange lesson plans, and a digital archiving system) that make their lives easier.
