About Admongo:
The Federal Trade Commision asks: "Everywhere you look, you see advertisements--not just on TV and online, but on buses, buildings, and scoreboards. Many ads taret kids ages 8 to 12. Do your students have the critical thinking skills to understand ads, what they're saying, and what they want kids to do?"
Admongo makes media analysis and awareness fun! Admongo is provided by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to teach kids about advertising. The FTC cites the goals of its campaign to be to "help kids learn to ask three key 'critical thinking' questions when they encounter advertising: 1. Who is responsible for the ad? 2. What is the ad actually saying? 3. What does the ad want me to do?"
