  abstract =     "During the development of a new program for teaching
                 the subject of computer communication at high school,
                 we examined different ways of teaching the algorithmic
                 aspect of communication protocols. Upon trying the
                 ``standard'' frontal lecture-type presentation, only a
                 minority of the students comprehended the protocols. In
                 looking for an alternative way of teaching, we
                 developed a simulation game in which the students act
                 as the protocol components. After playing the game,
                 they discuss the characteristics of the protocol as
                 experienced through playing. We found the simulation
                 game method to be far more effective than the
                 lecture-type presentation. The simulation game method
                 had significantly improved the level of understanding
                 and the motivation of the students. In this paper we
                 describe the simulation game and its didactic method
                 and discuss the results of applying it in high school
                 classes in Israel during the past year.",
