Zooming with Jared Fishman

Jared Fishman, "Class of 03", has been a history teacher for over 17 years, beginning his career as an adjunct professor at Iona College before being hired at Hackley in 2007. A dual masters holder in both history and education, he has taught courses on medieval and Renaissance History, American History, and non-Western History.

By participating in this course, students will come away with the following:
* A look into the ways in which games and simulations can be effective classroom tools.
* An examination of current models, including games on the Black Death and Medici era Florence.
