Science Sim

This was a really interesting activity today to do for sure. I found it honestly pretty frustrating because it was taking forever to down load and there was a lot of problems with the system. Once we actually got it in was pretty cool and what the doctorate student explained to us to how it could be used seems like it should be pretty sweet. Having the tutoring and classroom in the game could be very helpful. You could use it to better help you out and practice what you would do or say in that classroom situation. I liked how he said if you are tech savvy that you could set up different little worlds and teach others about pretty much anything that you would want to create through the program. I think that this seems kind of for older children and I honestly don't know if i would or how i would use it effectively with my little kindergartners. But i think maybe once I'm more exposed to it and get use to working with it then maybe i could utilize it more efficiently. I'm not a huge gamer type of person so to me it was more of a stress thing that a helpful thing. But that might just come with time. Hopefully, will just have to wait and see.
