“Students are able to visualize abstract concepts more easily or to interact and manipulate variables and situations that are difficult to replicate in a classroom setting. When they see things being manipulated on the screen, they are better equipped to explain concepts.”
- Teacher, San Jacinto Leadership Academy
“Students love the gamified/simulations to see how technology plays in.”
- Seventh Grade Teacher, Monte Vista Middle School
“Students seem to take their answers a step further and not only state the answer, but they also engage in thinking about why that is the answer.”
- Teacher, Batavia Public School District 101
“Students were excited about conducting the Gizmos and more willing to try different options to see different results.”
- Math Coach, Centerton Gamble Elem School
“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
