Jim Pedrech is the English and Canadian & world studies department head at Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School in Strathroy, Canada. He strives to provide meaningful learning experiences for his students by extending the learning environment beyond the confines of classroom walls. He is particularly interested in the way all texts—ranging from primary sources of the past to video games—can help students better understand real and fictional worlds. Through the “Scanning History” and “Rebuilding Rome” projects, Jim’s students use 3D technology to not only recreate the past but also to share the past with authentic audiences.
