Abstract

The use of immersive learning simulations in the K-12 setting represent a unique learning opportunity for students, but face unique challenges that hamper the deployment of this exciting technology. This paper examines success stories and the pedagogy that is influential in the use of simulations, many of which are directly related to teaching practices that have been used in the classroom for decades. There is also an examination of other inhibitors, such as money, time, and nationally standardized curriculum, which have a direct effect on the deployment of learning simulation in schools.
