Week 11 Chapter 3

The three principles that I believe are important for education are Committed Learning Principle, Practice Principle, and Discovery Principle. These three principles would help the student be successful in their educational careers.
     If I was making a simulation for my classroom it would be helping Special Education students socialize in a classroom setting, community setting, and also a business setting. The variables that the students would be able to change could be the the setting to any of the three stated above, they could create the people that they are socializing with and change the type of conversation, also have the practice of socializing in the simulation would be great to have to teach them before actually placing them in the setting to see how well they handle the situation. Socialization is a very important skill that these students need to be taught while in school.
       Being able to allow students to work with any technology like simulation is a great learning experience for them. They are so engulfed in technology that is how they learn so using technology like this to help them learn is very beneficial.
