What did I do? This is a description of a playful simulation experiment with teacher education students that I carried out in Do One phase. I ground my definition on simulation on Ellington and colleagues (1982) definition of a simulation: it has to representative something from the real world, it has …
WHAT This publication reflects my experience of using game simulations and their contribution to learning. In ordinary mathematics (not applied), Live and Virtual Simulation are not used. It remains possible to use constructive modeling. Creating a complete, high-quality version of the simulator is very time-consuming work, here I’m more of …
What? Finding realistic and doable simulations in teacher training is not so easy. Here I will tell you about a teaching activity involving an element of playful role-play on a very difficult theme during a course on special education needs. The topic was children in grief. Why? The students need …
In this blogpost, I reflect on the possibilities of including responsive buttons in my teaching materials. Using such buttons carries great potential of enhancing the interactions between instructors and learners and can initiate lasting learning experiences. I take inspiration from the YouTube clip “How to Create an Interactive Software Simulation …
Hi all, my name is Olga, and i am an engineering graphics teacher more then 10 years. This teaching experience makes it possible to evaluate and predict the effectiveness of teaching materials. Therefore, it was easy to evaluate the advantage of using a simulator over using traditional training materials. It …
