Abstract: I use a video game mod to help teach digital literacy and history. The game I would used as a basis for the mod is called Hearts of Iron IV. Modding is making alterations to the program code of a video game. This game is based on World War II (WWII) and the lead-up to the war. Students play as a nation and navigate it during this time frame. My goal is for students to also learn geography and major events like the Nazi German annexation of Czechoslovakia, and social skills like working on a team.
