What students are saying about the simulation books:
"I was never really interested in history before I played your simulations; they are great!"
"This is by far the most fun I have had in a history class."
"The game made me feel like we actually there, living out history."
"We were still arguing over who had the better constitution over lunch and into Algebra class.I even took it home and worked on it, so that we could win the game today."
"All these years later, the thing I remember the best about your class was the simulations we played. Those were really fun games."
What teachers are saying about the simulation books:
"My students loved the game. They did not want to stop!"
"The other simulations books I’ve seen are nice, but they are too detailed.Who has a week or more to spend on one event? I need something I can cover in a day or two because I have so much ground to cover in one year."
"This book is a great value; it has several good simulations for the price that most publishers charge for one."
"Jeremy Hilburn and I were happy to endorse Richard Di Giacomo's books at the National Council for the Social Studies Convention because there is a growing demand amongst Social Studies teachers to use simulations and encourage active learning." Brad Maguth, history professor
