Gizmos

“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.”

“The students have no issue with using the program, nor do they have issues with following the correct steps to complete each simulation.”

“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!”

“The students interact with Gizmos like a video game and engage in active learning.”

Gizmos

“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.”

“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.”

“There are many Gizmos that align with state standards such as mitosis, meiosis, DNA, and photosynthesis.”

“These virtual tools offer very rich, engaging, and high quality case studies for high school science that closely align with curriculum expectations. I have found them to be an incredibly valuable resource. Student engagement and feedback has always been positive. I have not been able to find any digital resources that can compare to the educational quality of Gizmos (especially the health-focused case studies). These resources are especially useful when the number of lab rooms are so limited and for students who require visual models to express abstract concepts.”

“They (students) were so much more interested in Gizmos than they would have been in my standing there lecturing.”

“They are aligned with our state standards. I teach all science courses at my school (6-12) and have been able to find Gizmos that align with all courses.”
