Reflection on situating tools

Situating tools are systems which situate users in an environment where they may ‘experience’ the control and happenings. Example of situating tool is a flight simulation because it places the user in the simulated flying environment and another an example is virtual realities. Some of the essential parts of situating tools are situates the user in the environment, communicate with other users, it foster creativity and visualization skills. Integrating situating tool into teaching-learning helps students experience the simulations and teach the strategies/skills which are useful in life such as taking decisions, how to solve real-life problems, and also it provides opportunities to interact with real life situations without danger, expenses or difficulty.

As a teacher, we should let students play simulation games. We did an activity doing the knee surgery were need to do the basic skills. After learning about the simulation I realized that children’s of the modern world are well skilled and equipped with technologies so, allowing them to play simulation games integrating with lessons may have the interactive classroom. In a classroom there will be diverse learner so, in order to cater individual difference let them play simulations games related to a content area.
