ADVANTAGE OF
USING SIMs
 ADVANTAGES OF USING SIMs
• Helps the teacher to address the needs of diverse learners
• Makes learners become more engaged and motivated
• You can share it with your co-teachers who are non-
majors of the subject
• Students become independent learners
• Students can enjoy doing the hands-on activities which
are designed for their own level.
TIPS IN MAKING
EFFECTIVE SIMS
TIPS IN MAKING EFFECTIVE SIMS
• Make it conversational and interactive
• Make it interesting
• Provide clear, simple information and
instruction
• Consider the learner’s developmental level.
• Make it reproducible.
HOW TO USE SIMs TO
IMPROVE STUDENT
OUTCOMES
If they didn’t master
the competencies
using MODULES,
provide them with
SIMs.
If a child can’t learn
the way we teach,
maybe we should
teach the way they
learn.
Never underestimate
the value of sharing.
