				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been quite a while since I&#8217;ve posted anything new to this site. That&#8217;s mostly due to the fact that I&#8217;ve struggled for years as to what this site should be, which is a pretty lame excuse, I&#8217;ll have to admit.</p>
<p>However, a couple of days ago, I left a comment on a Linkedin post that talked about how important simulations are in learning. The post linked to <a title="A Quick Look at The What, Why and How of eLearning Scenarios" href="http://www.linkedin.com/share?viewLink=&amp;sid=s1284155780&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Finfo%2Eshiftelearning%2Ecom%2Fblog%2Fbid%2F207283%2FA-Quick-Look-at-The-What-Why-and-How-of-eLearning-Scenarios&amp;urlhash=Bdcf&amp;pk=nhome-signal-feed&amp;pp=&amp;uid=5643658954501287936&amp;trk=NUS_UNIU_SHARE-title">a blog post</a> that listed the benefits of simulations, explained what they are, and shared some tips for using them.</p>
<p>My comment was, essentially, &#8216;why is this a blog post, and not an actual simulation designed to teach the point?&#8217; Because the company posting is promoting a simulation creation tool, it seems like an obvious thing to do. Compare this with the infographic entitled &#8220;<a title="What Infographics Are" href="http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/33472/The-What-Why-How-of-Infographic-Creation-In-an-Infographic.aspx">What Infographics Are</a>&#8220;. Brilliant, and concise. Now, why couldn&#8217;t we see a simulation entitled &#8220;Hank discovers the power of simulations&#8221;? Don&#8217;t get me started on vendors who can&#8217;t show you any samples due to proprietary issues. But that&#8217;s a rant for another day&#8230;</p>
<p>I really hate to be so grumpy. Maybe I need more fiber in my diet&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh, and before I forget: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40423298@N08/7781505200/in/photostream">Cookie Monster&#8217;s cookie recipe </a></p>
