It’s four great little tools for decision-making and coming up with creative ideas:
* Firing out ideas

Template to make the cards for ‘Making it fun: getting to know your reps.’
A student from the States (I guess) plans, commits and is punished for school council election fraud and Tweets the whole thing as it’s going.
