The Florida Virtual School is taking history in a new direction with the video game, Conspiracy Code. This game allows players to walk through history in a unique setting. At the same time, students are completing course requirements and receiving credit for school. While parts of the interface look more like a fancy shell around pages of web text, the concept is very interesting and the production value high. You can watch a trailer of the class and decide for yourself.
