Use video reviews by students... Encourage your students to write reviews, too.

When will we see video simulations of
deep sea diving?  Oh, yeah... 

One of the creative practices used at some schools is "start where the kid is at."  Many young people, particularly young boys, are engaged in simulations called "video games."  Some of them have written reviews of the simulations.  For example, http://gamereviewsbydavidc.blogspot.com/2015/11/la-noire-3-davids.html  

Go ahead.  Visit David C's portfolio of work.  He has put some effort into addressing the concerns of parents and teenagers about over a dozen video simulations.

Review sites like David's are examples of the intense passion that some teenagers have toward video simulations.  Why not include virtual worlds in your classroom?
