Check out the demo versions of games and simulations at LavaMind (https://www.lavamind.com/index.html) and choose one to play. In your discussion, identify the game you played and answer the following questions about the game:
� What types of learning outcomes can be achieved through playing the game?
� Are there particular academic disciplines where the game and/or simulation would be most effective? What about particular learning styles?
� What support is needed by faculty to integrate the game and/or simulation in their course?
� Did you learn anything?
The use of games, simulations, and virtual environments is still controversial, as their association with play and fun is often considered non-educational. In addition to answering the above questions, discuss how willing you would be to implement experiential learning in your course. Why or why not?
