Committed learning principle, practice principle, situated meaning principle are the three that I think are most important to learning, because of the focus to learning, the repetitions, and being put in situations outside of just memorizing stuff, it will allow you to think about situations.
The Sim World is a great simulation game, also creating people on the Wii and playing interactive games with your Mii character. I wouldn't allow my students to do to much except for walk around, let them have money to go spend as a reward for good behavior, good grades. I believe too much Sim world can make you lose your self in to the game and that's not good.
Simulations are very fun and can enhance learning tremendously if done properly, like a lot of stuff in this class, if used right will work great, if not used right can be disastrous to learning.
