Jeremiah McCall does an excellent job of honoring the personal meanings students find in video games while pushing them to perceive their possible academic resonances. The concrete strategies he articulates in the second edition of Gaming the Past are sure to be valuable for teachers looking for creative ways to integrate video games into their classrooms. While McCall focuses on practical concerns for harnessing the power of games toward demonstrable learning, his work is deeply rooted in the scholarship on historical games studies. As such, this volume serves as a map with plenty of suggested sidequests for those interested in exploring this burgeoning field further.
