=**__ CEP 812 Group 5 Special Interest Group Project: Academic Simulations __**=

=Focus = The focus of our SIG project is computer based academic simulations for use in the classroom. We will specifically look at the feasibility and merit of the academic simulations currently available and examine their potential for student learning. =Members =  = Resources = This project will attempt to examine simulations of all varieties in the core subject areas (although many are cross curricular). We hope to have a list of viable, classroom ready simulations with links to the simulations themselves. Below are a few links on the validity of simulations in the classroom and how to use them.
 * Sean Ferguson ** – focusing on science simulations
 * Bridgit Spielman ** – focusing on math and language arts simulations
 * Sam Sicilia ** – focusing on social studies simulations
