This web site explores the use of simulation games
and literary word games in teaching. Simulation games are those that offer
a model for a process. For example, such games might simulate evolution,
or democracy, or discovery. By playing a simulation game one comes to better
understand the process being simulated. Literary word games explore the power
and potential of language by introducing unusual restrictions or random elements
into language use. They can be considered simulation games as well, simulating
what mathematicians do with axiom systems and what poets do with language.
The web site was developed by students in the School of Edcuation, Acadia
University as part of a course in curriculum explorations and instructional
design.
