“The Gizmos program supports my students' conceptual knowledge by providing interactive simulations and virtual labs that allow them to explore and experiment with various scientific concepts. Through hands-on activities, students can observe cause-and-effect relationships, visualize abstract concepts, and develop a deeper understanding of complex topics in science and mathematics. Additionally, the program offers real-time feedback and assessments, enabling students to track their progress and reinforce their learning effectively.”
- Science Teacher, Pensacola Catholic High School
“The interface is easy to use and provides the support I need as a teacher and for the students. It is able to show trends in many areas of science that a hands-on lab would not be able to do.”
- Teacher, Our Lady Queen of the World Catholic Academy
“The kids love Gizmos. Student engagement is always 100% during their work time.”
- Teacher, Bentonville Public Sch Dist 6
“The kids loved to use the Gizmo lessons. They enjoyed phase changes, building Pangaea, and food chains. I think it reinforced concepts that we had covered in class.”
- Teacher, San Jacinto Unified Sch Dist
“The large library of student explorations, or labs, made it possible for me to still incorporate lab-based learning into hybrid/virtual instruction. The clear and concise instructions on student copies, along with answer keys for the teacher to provide support with, made it easy for virtual students to be just as successful in completing the labs as hybrid students who were doing them in the classroom on Chromebooks.”
- Teacher, Stuarts Draft High School
“The students have no issue with using the program, nor do they have issues with following the correct steps to complete each simulation.”
- Teacher, Tangipahoa Parish School Dist
“The students in my classes have really enjoyed interacting with the various simulators. Whether it was grade 4 students playing with pulley systems, or grade 8 students looking at erosion patterns, the activities aligned well with my curriculum and the goals of my lessons. You know that the activities are a hit when students ignore robots and ipads to build a house, with a set budget, that will withstand the forces of a natural disaster!”
- Teacher, District School Board of Ontario
“The students interact with Gizmos like a video game and engage in active learning.”
- Teacher, Alvin Ind School District
“The students seem eager to learn from these simulations and acquire knowledge from it. After a short demonstration on how to use the simulation, the students seem to grasp and become effective learners.”
- Teacher, Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Ind SD
“The visualization that Gizmos provides for the biology concepts is unbeatable. Students are able to see and manipulate different scenarios to deepen their understanding in a way that is just not possible without Gizmos.”
