Simulation of a wet chemistry lab. The Virtual Lab is an online simulation of a chemistry lab. It is designed to help students link chemical computations with authentic laboratory chemistry. The lab allows students to select from hundreds of standard reagents (aqueous) and manipulate them in a manner resembling a real lab.

A large collection of math based browser games, simulations, and activities.

Tutorials and simulations

Looks like amazing potential for history simulation. Wonder what the price is?

A collection of spreadsheet simulations that allow students to play with values to see what happens in order to illustrate a variety of physics concepts

This interactive site walks kids through the history of the some of the world's most famous conflicts. Role play, higher-order thinking skills, and problem solving engages students. One feature I like is the ability of students to blog a journal of their battle plans/results throughout the activity.

Alters all the colours on a webpage for protanope, deuteranope and tritanope. Simulates what these impairments look like. Can be set to work automatically on page load.

Create simulation program and full design program for teaching lighting for the theater. Recommended for 9-12 and above Theatre students. Asset for any theater.

46 Basic Interview Questions (with response suggestions) - 85 Behavior Interview Questions (17 categories) - 6 interview Simulations (10 interview questions each) - Audible Male and Female Voices - Anonymous and Free to use

Great problem-solving, simulation, game for business students. The object is to become the Carnival Manager: A local fun-filled carnival / theme-park urgently requires a virtual managing director to oversee ride and attraction construction, the hiring of staff, general park management, strategic planning, and financial budgeting.

Great example of a Simulation Software tool. Kids can learn conducting patterns and actually change the tempo of a piece of music while it plays by changing how fast they move their mouse.

Walk throughs of different math strategies and skills, some include simulations or virtual manipulatives.

This is an example of a simulation software for math. This website constructs any geometry figure possible. It shows you step by step how to do a geometry construction. The students can control the pace of the simulation, pause it and play it forward.

This article provides an overview of connectivism and distinguishes between learning theory and instructional theory. It also introduces what it calls the three largest reservoirs of information including online classrooms, social networks, and virtual reality or simulated communities, along with mobile learning and looks for evidence of how they align with the theory of connectivism.

Great site with a lot of simulations/games on mechanics topics

This reports the results of a survey of students about using instant messaging in an asynchronous distance learning course in library science. The students came to believe that instant messaging was not appropriate for class related learning, but it was shown to have developed relationships between classmates and to have successfully simulated the types of informal relationships that occur in brick and mortar classrooms. These type of relationship can help build PLNs.

A simulation game about the capture / recapture of fish. Its goal is to teach students about Hypergeometric distribution as well as other basic statistical concepts like estimation and confidence intervals.

An older program that has chemistry simulations that allow students to visualize abstract chemistry principles.
