Historical Video Games

In this video a professor at SE Missouri State uses computer games to teach his students history. These programs are designed specifically for educational purposes and help students learn in a fun, creative way. In this particular case, the games are centered on WWII and appear to be helping students understand the interconnect between different countries during the war as well as helping students better understand how actions from one country played out on the global scale. This technology seems like a promising avenue to look into and has the potential to help facilitate learning in a history classroom.

Seems at least noteworthy for me to check out in the future.
