The Simulation/PBL Blog is a blog that first requires students to engage in some kind of simulation and/or PBL and then has students (1) showcase their engagement and (2) describe any/all thoughts the students had related to the simulation and/or PBL.
I personally define a PBL as anytime students are given an opportunity to solve a real-world problem.
A great example of the Simulation/PBL Blog is a blog that my US Government students produced last year.
This blog was entitled The Mock US Supreme Court Hearing Blog and, as the titled suggests, first required the students to engage in a mock US Supreme Court hearing.
The question before the court - whether a school district that prohibits Sikh school children from bringing a metal bladed kirpan onto school grounds violates the Sikh school children’s first amendment right to exercise their religion freely?

For those wanting to learn how to conduct a mock US Supreme Court Hearing, you might want to read an article I wrote for Edutopia. The article is entitled A Mock US Supreme Court Hearing: The Metal Bladed Kirpan and the Free Exercise Clause.
