THIS BLOG IS USED FOR TEACHING PURPOSES. MY STUDENTS IN SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY (IDE735) AND UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA (EIPT 6613) POST THEIR COURSE REFLECTIONS HERE.
THIS BLOG IS OPEN TO OTHERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN COLLABORATIVE BRAINSTORMING AND LEARNING ABOUT EDUCATIONAL MODELING, SIMULATIONS, & GAMES.
This looked like lots of fun, so I found Fish Farm I and played it. It was enjoyable, and I definitely see how it could help students learn fractions. Of course, more importantly according to Rieber (2004) is that the student also PROGRAM/build these simulations. I couldn't tell if they'd done that or not. But, what I do like about Agent Sheets as a whole is the integrated approach (all simulations should be based on Agent Sheets), the online upload/environment, and the ability to share with other students/instructors (collaboration).
Welcome to the blog for IDE 735 & EIPT6613 Modeling, Simulations, and Games in Education & Training.
Please feel free to post your thoughts and weekly reflections on what we're doing in class, link to any current newspaper articles or other information on games and simulations in education, and upload photos, diagrams, etc.
