“I really love Gizmos as they help students grasp difficult concepts that can’t always be seen. They make abstract ideas come to life.”
— Gizmos Teacher, Foothills School Division, Alberta, Canada
“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 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.”
- Science Program Administrator, Bedford Public Schools
“There are many Gizmos that align with state standards such as mitosis, meiosis, DNA, and photosynthesis.”
- EHS Science Dept Chair, Elkins High School
“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.”
- High school teacher
“They (students) were so much more interested in Gizmos than they would have been in my standing there lecturing.”
- STEM Specialist, Wake Co School District
“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.”
- Teacher, Randolph Co School District
“They are good for experiments that we cannot do in-person because of danger or lack of supplies or online learning. Some of them are fun and game-like.”
- Teacher, Connecticut Technical Education And Career System
“They enable the students to conceptualize microscopic things in biology that they otherwise wouldn't be able to.”
- Teacher, Charleston Public Schools
“They [PD] have helped in learning how we can implement them in the classroom with items such as presets, exploration, and editing student handouts.”
