Students will improve their writing skills- Integrating classroom
Simulation in the Classroom simulations into your curriculum will promote students to document their experiences. By documentation, writing skills will be assessed, and students will develop their skills further. They will become a more confident writer if this skill is continually practiced.
Integrated Curriculum- Multiple academic subjects can be addressed
in just one simulation. This is beneficial to students because “Classroom simulation opens connections can be made linking each subject to one another. up windows of opportunities to Cooperative learning- Students will learn how to work with fellow internationally and classmates when simulations are part of the course work. This will “Classroom collaboratively learn.” encourage students to peer assist one another, thus developing a more simulations are an rounded learning environment. Stacy, asset to any innovative UMHB learning Technology in the Classroom- Using simulations in the classroom environment!!” means students will be using modern technology. Today’s generation is -Alysa UMHB all too familiar with technology.
Unique Evaluations- During classroom simulations, students can show

Each student will have their own authentic assessment of Today’s technology has given us windows into worlds we never would’ve what is occurring with the simulated project. been able to see before. Virtual worlds are more popular now that ever and it is up to us in the community of education to utilize this public interest to teach in our classrooms. Classroom simulation can give Classroom Tech Times 2010 FALL students limitless experiences. http://www.edutopia.org/online- simulations-classroom continually write of their own experiences, either real or simulated, they “Classroom Simulations allow International collaboration http://www.edutopia.org/online- students to experience phenomena simulations-classroom learn more and become increasingly that can be impossible to observe in Students are given the opportunity to meet with other students all confident authentic writers. the real world.” over the world.
