To focus on the over-arching concepts above, make learning platform-neutral. For example, when teaching spreadsheets, make the software or online tools a vehicle for practicing critical thinking, data analysis, and evidence-based learning, not for learning one brand of software or a particular spreadsheet tool.

Instructional simulations have the potential to engage students in deep learning. Deep learning empowers understanding as opposed to surface learning which deals with memorization. Through simulations, a learner learns to reflect on and extend knowledge by active exploration and by using problem solving approach.

For starters, simulations have a way of making children learn through exploration without realizing that they are learning. This format of learning helps them internalize knowledge more naturally. Simulations, on the whole, improve students’ critical thinking skills and empower their understanding of a variety of subjects.
