Oh, how we wished we could watch TV or play computer games instead.
However, history is a truly fascinating subject.
Mr. Mahathey teaches social studies to 7th and 8th graders.
He is passionate about his work, sharing the realities of the job on his TikTok account.
Last month, he posted a video from one of his lessons.
He showed them the Battle of Thermopylae, one of the most prominent battles of the Greco-Persian wars.
So, right there, thats going to be the entrance to Thermopylae.
Thats a very narrow passageway in order for the Persians and the Greeks to fight.
Who said video games were bad?
However, multiple studies have shown how video games help us.
Expertly created video games with proper historical research benefit students.
One of the TikTok commenters recalled that they played the Unity installment while studying the French Revolution.
Have you ever played a game as a part of your homework?
Other users praised the teacher for willingness to find a way to engage students.
Thats smart I would 100 percent pay way more attention if my teacher did this.
This is an amazing use of technology that is so engaging for students.
I would have retained so much more with this imagery.
Love it, wrote another commenter.
Most of us probably think fondly of that one teacher who went above and beyond to help us.
Years later, we can still remember the valuable lessons theyve taught us.
Well, not my math teacher Ive never had to use the Pythagorean theorem again in my life.
Have you ever had an unconventional lesson or a lecture?
