Jeremiah McCall
Biography
Jeremiah McCall has been teaching high school history for the past 8 years, the past 6 at Cincinnati Country Day School. His primary training is in history with a PhD in ancient history from Ohio State University and a book on the cavalry of the Roman Republic, but he has been gaming and programming computers for decades as a hobbyist. As an extension of his teaching philosophy — that history is primarily the study and evaluation of competing interpretations of the past — McCall has conducted numerous classroom experiments of the effective use of historical simulations as historical interpretations. He maintains the website www.historicalsimulations.net, one of the primary sites devoted to the use of historical simulations in classroom teaching.
