South Winneshiek High School agriculture instructor and FFA Advisor Melissa Brincks has returned from giving a workshop at the National Association of Agriculture Educators conference in New Orleans.

They utilized the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture's new and enhanced version of "MyAmericanFarm.org," a free online interactive gaming platform that focuses on Pre-K through fifth-grade students.

"My American Farm" was developed to engage millions of youth, teachers and parents through unique educational experiences, educator resources and fun family activities in an online environment.

"One of the main things we tried to do was not only provide these games, but also provide resources and ways to search the site so educators can find information easily," said AFBFA Executive Director Julie Tesch.  "We also have fun family activities for when kids come home from school and they have that time on the computer."
