    simSchool is a simulated classroom that supports rapid accumulation of a teacher's experience in analyzing student differences, adapting instruction to individual learning needs, gathering data about the impacts of instruction, and seeing the results of their teaching. This is a place where instructors can explore instructional strategies, examine classroom management techniques, and practice building relationships with students that will translate into increased learning. The results are highlighted below and are proved to be real and measurable.

Such biases can lead to bad decisions in critical matters, including national security.
  • a non-commercial video game to help players recognize their biases and learn not to depend on decision-making shortcuts when processing and assessing information.

    This lab allows classes to learn through gaming. The classroom becomes the game by personalized learning by using quest-based learning and game mechanics. The students can progress through standards and categories the teacher can create. The 3D GameLab is currently closed, but it will kick off in an online spring camp for teachers and instructional designers that provides the tools and training to turn the classroom into a living game. Up to 60 students are allowed to play their way through the curriculum.
