Zondle Update

Greetings all,

As we have finished our Intro to Econ Unit the Econ Basics question sets have been "unset" meaning you can't earn Dun-Bucks for them anymore.  

However, you can play a new question set "General Civics Knowledge" to earn Dun-Bucks and check your general knowledge for Civics Facts.

In Solidarity,

Mr. Dunbeck
