The History Teacher
Gaming in the History Classroom
Far beyond the bubble sheet, students are interacting with history in unconventional and clever ways. Recent scholarship in The History Teacher demonstrates successful strategies for incorporating games in the history classroom. From classic table-top board games like chess, to the latest virtual simulations online, games allow students to learn dynamically with methods rooted in pedagogical and historical theory.
