Welcome to my Master's Blog

I am towards the end of my Master's Program! I have learned so much about technology in education that I can bring to my classroom from all of my classmates and instructors.

If any of you read this let me know what you are excited about in education and technology. I am always looking for new ideas! Thanks and keep on blogging!

"Making History" Game

http://www.making-history.com/hq/

MAKING HISTORY® is a series of counterfactual turn-based strategy games in which players apply their strategic skills to lead their chosen nation through real-world periods of conflict. The goal is not to replay history exactly as it happened, but rather to operate in an unpredictable, player-driven world. Virtually any country is playable across a variety of the game's bundled scenarios, and players can use the MAKING HISTORY® Game Editor to create new scenarios of their own, offering endless hours of gameplay.
