I will attached the sim class room report and screenshot on Monday.Fieldwork Components: Your fieldwork is divided into two distinct experiences:
simSchool Experience: Engage with the simSchool platform, an AI-powered simulation tool, for a total of 5 hours. This involves teaching in a simulated online environment.
In-Class Observations: Spend 5 hours observing classes in your school that include multilingual learners.
Comparative Analysis: Your primary task is to write a paper comparing these two experiences. Focus on the differences and similarities in teaching methodologies, learning environments, and the effectiveness of each setting for multilingual learners.
Documentation Requirements:
simSchool Screenshots: Include screenshots from your simSchool sessions. These should illustrate key moments or strategies used in the simulation.
Classroom Photos: Capture photos of the physical classroom settings during your in-class observations. Ensure these photos do not include students, focusing instead on the classroom layout, resources, and any teaching aids used.
Analysis of Classroom Environment: In both your screenshots and photos, aim to evaluate how the environments are conducive (or not) to learning for multilingual students. Consider aspects like classroom layout, teaching materials, and technological aids.
Direct Quotations from Observations: Incorporate direct quotes from your observations that highlight specific strategies used to assist multilingual learners. These quotes should be verbatim and reflect actual classroom practices.
Objective Observation: Maintain an objective, non-judgmental stance in your observations. Your role is to observe and report on what you see, not to evaluate or critique teaching methods.
This approach will allow you to conduct a thorough and insightful comparison of traditional and simulated teaching environments, particularly in their effectiveness for multilingual learners.
Your paper needs to be between 2000 to 2500 words excluding your APA style references, tables, and any realia you include.

About simSchool
simSchool is a web-based virtual classroom environment populated with “simStudents.”” simStudents have artificial emotional intelligence. They smile, cry, become frustrated, raise their hands, seek attention, and show signs of stress. They respond in very individual ways to tasks assigned, tone of voice used, and to classroom management strategies employed.
Grounded in established theories of cognition, emotion, social behavior, and more, simSchool provides users authentic experience and vetted through a decade of continuous research, field testing, and clinical practice.
