The document discusses the relationship between simulations and games, and the challenges of using simulations and games for learning. It argues that all games are a type of simulation, but simulations are not always games. It also notes that computers were originally developed for simulations. However, educators' views of simulations differ from those in other fields. By understanding these different perspectives and sharing knowledge between fields, simulations can take lessons from games and offer more to education through improved design.
