Using Simulations to teach state/local government law

Some of you may be interested in the use of simulations to teach certain aspects of state and local government law.  There are a growing number of useful resources of this sort.

Consider, for example, teaching about budgeting:

Massachusetts state budget balancing game:  http://www.playmassbalance.com/

Minnesota:  http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2003/03/10_newsroom_budgetsim/

And then there's "Topeka City Council Survivor" (relates to civil interaction... who gets voted off the island):  http://www.cjonline.com/webindepth/survivor/stories/hall11.shtml

For those interested in economic development, try the Electronic Hallway (through University of Washington Evans School of Public Affairs):  https://hallway.org
