Real Lives Press Releases Educational Simulations Announces “Real Lives” Incline Village—(Internet Wire)--September 16, 2002 Educational Simulations?, introduces Real Lives?, the life simulation software that allows students to live simulated lives in any country in the world. Based on thousands of statistics collected from dozens of sources, Real Lives offers a realistic look at life in every country. A free 14-day trial is available from Educational Simulations’ web-site, www.educationalsimulations.com. Real Lives was successfully tested at several high schools from January to June of 2002. Amanda Levin, Social Studies Department Chairperson at Incline High School in Incline Village, NV said, “No curriculum has moved our students the way Real Lives has. It is a very effective medium for teaching about the human experience in any country and culture in the world.” Teachers at other schools had equally positive things to say, including Gene Baxter, of McQueen High School in Reno, “Our people are pretty fired up about Real Lives. Many of our teachers plan to use it in their classes [this] year.” More recently, Real Lives was evaluated by Barbara Kuhns, representing New Mexico’s Regional Educational Technology Assistance, (RETA). Barbara said, “Real Lives stands out among educational software applications because of its dynamic use of information to keep students interested and thinking.” (RETA) is a partnership that helps hundreds of New Mexico teachers and administrators integrate technology into the classroom through professional development opportunities. Real Lives and its associated lesson plans and lesson ideas are aligned with national educational standards in the areas of Social Studies, Language Arts, Geography and Technology. Lesson plans, handouts, and other materials can be downloaded from www.educationalsimulations.com. “Teachers from our pilot program last spring said that Real Lives fills a void in the curriculum areas of Geography and Social Studies for middle and high school students,” said Alan Hansen of Educational Simulations. “Real Lives offers students more than just information--students are interested in their decisions and the consequences that follow.” For more information, visit our web-site, www.educationalsimulations.com or call during business hours at 888-832-1500.
