Past Present

Past/Present is an irreverent, surprising, and fresh approach to teaching social history to secondary schoolers created by the Center for New American Media and Muzzy Lane Software, Inc. Past/Present is an immersive digital video game where players live the lives of Americans from eras past. Imagine a learning experience where students are thrust into the everyday hustle and bustle of a century or two ago. They might find themselves enslaved in an antebellum town, or caught up in a strike in a Massachusetts textile mill, or riding the rails in the Depression. Students will need to have all their wits about them to survive in these unfamiliar environments.
