- SHere in Ottawa, canada,Candadada, Sim City is
- used in a number of high schools in grade 9 geography classes. It
- seems like a great tool. Also, SimAnt is great for teaching/
- learning about social interacyttions at the insect level,
- also great.
-
- Then there is Sim Earth, like SimCity but on a macro level. Their
- latestwhiz-bang is SimLife, lets you experiment with evolution
- and even alter genes, the environment and other things.
-
- All these programmes are great, both for teaching, and to let
- children (ages ~10 and up) have some fun, too.
-
- Good luck!
