So far I have made very little money with this blog because it is a labor that I love and I feel as it has enhanced my teaching and based on the e-mails a lot of others as well. But fortunately I do make some "ice cream" money and one of the sources is from History Simulations. I like it because 1) it is a teacher made business and so you know it has been and continues to be tested in the classroom and continually is improved 2) I believe that making the students learn by doing is the best way to learn which is why I like David Harms' simulations.
Here for example is one on World War I which allows the student to change the size of the armies to alter the scenarios. David also has a blog with testimonials, discussions of the game improvements and more. For those of you who are interested in his simulations, David has one for WWI, WWII and the Cold War. Watch a few minutes of the video above and you will be impressed.
