The Cuban Missile Crisis
A simulation of events leading up to, during, and after the crisis of 1962.
Visit site · coming soonI like creating things for my students, especially when it makes them more engaged in their learning. That's why I started making simulations based on topics covered in my classroom.
My simulations started simple: paper, maps, and a whiteboard. But I was always looking for the next thing that could improve student engagement, something we all struggle with throughout our careers.
I noticed that every time I ran a classroom game, my students became engaged and competitive, and apathy was set aside in favour of “winning,” which really was just learning in disguise.
I plan on creating more simulations, especially ones focused on the social studies classroom.

Each sim covers a specific topic from the social studies classroom. I have a love for learning history, and chances are the sims will reflect that.
I’m also open to suggestions and feedback. Especially feedback from teachers and students that have used one of my sims.
