Simulations and games have grown from rote drills using a computer to challenging learning experiences for students that hone problem-solving and critical thinking skills. They are fun for students, keep them engaged, and teach the foundational pieces of a lesson. What is a Simulation? These include: #1.

Technology and the connected world put a fork in the old model of teaching–instructor in front of the class, sage on the stage, students madly taking notes, textbooks opened to the chapter being reviewed, homework as worksheets based on the text, tests regurgitating important facts. Problem solving is integral to learning.

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.

These experiences not only develop students’ skills but also teach them how to successfully apply those skills in many different situations. For starters, simulations have a way of making children learn through exploration without realizing that they are learning. What can simulations offer learners?
