We have introduced AgentSheets at several schools, from elementary to high school. We have been very successful in introducing studens to simulation environment. Students have many simulation environments that they shared over the web.
John Zola, New Vista High School, Boulder, is one of the teachers that has used AgentSheets extensively in his Social Studies Class. Some of his students were invited to present their AgentSheets creation at the The Third International Conference on the Learning Sciences (ICLS-98) in Atlanta.
Zola introduces teachers to five AgentSheets Social Studies simulations created by High School students in grades 9-12. He encourages teachers to use already-created AgentSheets simulations in the social studies classroom using five Classroom Activities, including goals & objectives, materials, time estimates, and in some cases, Activity Worksheets.
