Online Games and Simulators - WK 5

Online Games and Simulators for Sexual Education 
The first website is: http://sexetc.org/fun/condom-game/
The above website is an online puzzle game for the application of condoms. In this game, players will sort out the stages in which they are supposed to check for birth control appropriate directions.
This website helps learners get an idea of the proper ways to use the birth control technique. Players will be able to understand what to look for, how to use, and the right way to get rid of the birth control.
This application will be used in two ways. The first one, I will have my learners play this application while learning my course. Afterwards, each person is supposed to write a rationale of why they had to sort the eight steps of using the birth control in the way they thought it should be. Another way that I would use this application is to help my learners introduce this application to their classroom (my learners are either adult learners or educators who teach teenagers).
The second website is:
This game is an online question and answer game introducing general knowledge about sexual problems. With pictures attached to the game, Issues that are addressed in a true/False format: SDTs, preventive measures, and other educational information.
I chose this application because it introduces learners to a wide variety of ideas about sexual diseases and birth control methods. It also provides learners with information about each question that they get right or wrong.

This website will be used towards the end of my course. It helps learners get a rehearsal of some of the topics that we went over during the course.

  1. There seem to be games for everything! Even one that instructs on how to use condoms correctly? Wow!

    1. It is actually strange to me as well. I had to look hard to find such games. I have never used them in my lessons neither.

  2. I think that a game that provides learners with information about sex is quite useful, especially for teenagers. I remember my days in secondary school (Catholic all girl school) when we had "Family Life" class. The teacher did not provide us with a lot of useful information. I know that most of us learned about sex from our peers, movies and romance novels!
