Real people sharing real success

“Gizmos are a good visual way to teach topics that may be harder to visualize.”

“I have found a few other simulations, but none offer the amount of resources as Gizmos do.”

“I have loved Gizmos for years. Gizmos definitely complement a lesson and they give visuals and interactions that are unmatched.”

“As science teaching is moving away from teacher-directed activities and toward student-centered learning, Gizmos has allowed us to facilitate students taking control of their learning.”

“During virtual learning, Gizmos allows for students to continue to engage in lab work and model the work real scientists do in the field.”

“Gizmos have become such a staple in my classroom. If I tell my students an activity or homework assignment will include a Gizmo, I am usually met with at least one ‘Let's go!’ and immediate log-ins to the platform.”

“In teaching life science, I find Gizmos particularly useful for observing cellular and subcellular structures. We certainly use real microscopes too, but Gizmos help multiple people look at and discuss something at the same time. As we move through the year, I’m looking forward to using Gizmos that deal with animals and ones that involve longer time scales than would be possible for a classroom lab.”

“Gizmos give the students another platform to explore, and the learning is directed by them. They get to experiment with the virtual lab by moving things around and being able to see what happens. This is something that can only be accomplished by doing a virtual simulation, and it has been very useful and, in my opinion, successful for student learning.”

Gizmos

“My teachers love how Gizmos are ready to use. But they especially love how the lessons and activities are adaptable for students at all learning levels. Through training and collaboration, I have shared how the teachers can take the lessons and modify them for lower-level students and create more challenging tasks for higher-level students”

“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.”
