What is computer simulation?
• The technique of representing the real world by a computer program; "a simulation should imitate the internal processes and not merely the results of the thing being simulated"
• Simulations can enable students to develop familiarity with an activity before they engage in it.

Educational Games
•An activity that provides entertainment and teaches you a subject. •Apply subject matter

Examples of games• Mineshaft

Essential design criteria for Educational
Games
1.) Winning should be based on knowledge or skills, not randon factors
2.) The game should address important content, not trivia.
3.) The dynamics of the game should be easy to understand and interesting for the players but not obstruct or distort learning.
4.) Students should not lose points for wrong answers.
5.) Games should not be zero-sum exercises.

Conclusion• Some games and simulations allow
students to explore and create materials that they could not work directly with in real life .
