Why Use Computer Simulations?Why Use Computer Simulations?• Experience and explore a broad range
of environments, objects, and phenomena
• Observe and manipulate normally inaccessible objects, variables, and processes
• Make Abstract topics more concrete
• Provide just-in-time instruction
• Advantage of catering to differences among learners
• Ownership of their own learning process
