Reflections = Week 11
Countdown! This is one of the few times, I really am not looking forward to a countdown. My school encourages creativity, so I have been fortunate enough to implement the educational and instructional tools gained in class throughout this course. This week, I had students completing simulation on the computer, on planetary.org, they enjoyed their trip on Mars and the way they were able to communicate with each while on the trip.

I spoke to Kathleen, Cherrina, Arlene, Mia and Dr. Powley this week. I tried to communicate with Robert, and a few others. Kathleen and I planned to play a game online, but had to reschedule. It is amazing that as you read the post on the discussion, there seem to be a kind of sync, thoughts are becoming closely related and there is so much respect given to each other. I am simply enjoying it. Marcelle

Simulation, Games etc.
Simulation, Games etc. can be seen as Instructional softwares that sometimes reflect the behavioral and cognitive learning theories. Most importantly they support constructivist aims at helping students explore topics and generate their own knowledge through activity. Gagne on the other hand who does not support constructivism but a rather direct use, notes "drill, tutorials and simulations each accomplish a different combination of the Events of Instruction.
