An essay for Wiley Companion to Public History, “Historical Video Games as Participatory Public History” (I can provide a copy). Maybe I was an early advocate of using forums to gauge players&#39; historical thinking?</p>

Jeremiah McCall<p>Second entry in <a href="https://historians.social/tags/McCallGTPRetrospective" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>McCallGTPRetrospective</span></a> on <a href="https://historians.social/tags/GamingthePastInEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GamingthePastInEd</span></a> is a personal favorite. Nov. 24th, 2010 <a href="https://www.playthepast.org/?p=302" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">playthepast.org/?p=302</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> I set out a foundational point for my work. The intellectual benefit of critiquing of a game can make the historical accuracy of a game irrelevant for educational purposes.</p>
Jeremiah McCall<p>The first entry in the <a href="https://historians.social/tags/McCallGTPRetrospective" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>McCallGTPRetrospective</span></a> on <a href="https://historians.social/tags/GamingthePastInEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GamingthePastInEd</span></a> is the September 27th, 2010 <br /> <a href="https://www.playthepast.org/?p=94" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">playthepast.org/?p=94</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> . I introduced the idea of a &quot;simulation game&quot; for history education and the idea of &quot;defensible models&quot;. I don&#39;t really use the &quot;simulation game&quot; concept as expressed here; I still talk about defensible models.</p>
Jeremiah McCall<p>Since I really know of no other way to spark conversations about <a href="https://historians.social/tags/HistoricalGameStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HistoricalGameStudies</span></a> and <a href="https://historians.social/tags/GamingthePastInEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GamingthePastInEd</span></a> other than writing and then re-sharing my writing in case it&#39;s been missed in the shuffle, I bring you the shamelessly self-promotional <a href="https://historians.social/tags/McCallGTPRetrospective" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>McCallGTPRetrospective</span></a>, each of the essays, no more than one a day and books published first somewhere other than gamingthepast.net! I know, pretty exciting, right?!?!?</p>
