What happened to educational games? Why has the focus in edutainment shifted? How can games like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy be used to increase literacy? How can modern board games be used in the classroom to teach history? Is Assassins Creed really that great for teaching purposes?

Jeremiah McCall is on Legends and Lectures to talk about Gaming the Past, a method and programme that uses video games, board games, and text games to teach in modern classrooms.
