Testimonial

My name is Sharri Clifford, and I teach 7th grade U.S. History in Virginia.  I recently ordered your simulation materials for World War II and the Cold war.  I have already implemented 2 of them, “The Holocaust” and “Life at Home”.  They have been extremely successful and meaningful to the students.  The materials and simulations are cleverly thought out, and are realistically set up for a class of 30-ish students.  It makes teaching history creative and fun!  Thank you so much.  I had my assistant principal come in and view the “Life at Home” interactive museum, and she was so impressed!  She has already assured me that they will fund the purchase of the other Units available.  We will be ordering soon.

History is Fun!

History is Fun! is based on the idea that learning should be fun! This rationale is embedded in statistical research that states when people are enjoying an activity they will desire to continue that activity. Too often students come to school believing that school is boring and that it has no immediate relevance to them. The goal of History is Fun! is for students to actively learn and have fun in the process.
