Thanks Caitlin. I think these simulations do a very good job at simulating not only the natural processes involved, but also our need to have an understanding of them (genetics, artificial selection) in order to achieve a goal. These are not just simulations, they are applications of a concept as well.

Your concerns about students not working are valid, but I feel they are perhaps the same for any assignment where students research information. You might insist they use citations of their references (see Wikipedia's guide to wiki citation) to help ensure there is no plagiarism.

I completely agree with your point that classroom technology should be simple and easy to use. If it is too difficult to use, the student focuses more on the technology rather than on the assignment or the learning. I hope everything we show you can be considered “simple” and “easy”.
