I decided to do my special topic presentation on Simulation in Nursing Health Care Education. I had a lot of fun putting this presentation together - gathering information for my fellow classmates to show them what simulation is all about and finding good examples to show them in action. I find the history of simulation quite interesting - manikins in health care were first designed by a homemaker who did dolls in her spare time. As the field and technology grew, so did the capabilities of the manikins.
Things like Second Life and videoconferencing have allowed for a more virtual simulation experience:

I also got to show the class what the debriefing process is all about using the College of Nursing's Bline server:

Although my presentation focused on simulation in healthcare, it is definitely an expandable technology and is used throughout so many other fields. Meredith actually also did her presentation on simulation in military training. It's a very useful and robust teaching method.
