“We use Gizmos to supplement our STEM lessons. We often use Gizmos at the beginning of lessons to stimulate interest and generate discussions before we get to the hands-on, project-based learning. Gizmos have also helped support the collaboration between our Innovation Hub and the homeroom teachers as teachers often use Gizmos to reinforce and consolidate learning. We will certainly continue to use Gizmos as we develop the Innovation Hub here at Raha and Taaleem.”

“Science lessons can be anything but ordinary when accompanied with engaging activities of computer simulations. That is the power of Explore Learning’s visual model, Gizmos. Its interactive user model allows our teachers and students to swiftly move through a variety of scientific concepts or scenarios in a single session, significantly broadening the range of what can be demonstrated, explained, and explored in the classroom. Additionally, Gizmos offers a safe and engaging learning environment to all our students and allows them to build their experience and enthusiasm for STEM subjects without geographical limitations. Finally, Gizmos' interactive features increase students' interest and involvement in inquiry-based lessons, which has had a favorable impact on their academic growth and performance.”

“Gizmos is a wonderful platform where simulations help us virtually conduct experiments. These captivating online simulations hold students’ attention and make them dig deeper to understand concepts effectively. Before using Gizmos, we had to teach certain topics in science theoretically. But Gizmos has provided us with a fantastic platform to apply our theoretical knowledge practically. They empowers students to conduct their own investigations. They learn challenging concepts through inquiry and exploration by changing the variables in an experiment, observing the virtual results, and drawing the conclusions. Gizmos allows us to follow an inquiry-based learning approach as teachers and help students to become problem solvers.”

“Gizmos revolutionizes the way students engage with STEM education. Through interactive simulations and virtual experiments, Gizmos brings science and math concepts to life, providing students with a dynamic and hands-on learning experience. With a focus on inquiry-based instruction, Gizmos allows educators to seamlessly integrate technology into their teaching, promoting a deeper understanding of complex scientific and mathematical principles.”
- Primary school teacher
“Gizmos goes beyond traditional teaching methods, offering interactive simulations and virtual labs that engage students in hands-on learning experiences. The platform provides educators with a diverse range of science simulations, fostering a deeper understanding of complex concepts. Through its user-friendly interface, Gizmos empowers both teachers and students to explore, experiment, and comprehend abstract topics in a fun and interactive manner.”
- High school coordinator
“Gizmos is a very interactive platform that allows students to explore a variety of different topics in chemistry, biology, and physics. One of the great characteristics of Gizmos is that it gives students the ability to explore topics in microscale experiments that can't be done in a standard lab. Gizmos allow students to control different variables, make different experiments, and apply the scientific method. They provide teachers with all the resources needed to use the simulation in a very interactive and effective way. I encourage all teachers to use Gizmos in their classes.”

“Gizmos has been a LIFESAVER during this Covid-19 crisis! I’ve been using Gizmos to teach my math students in grades 2-6. I even use Cannonball Clowns as a game with grades 1 through 7! Gizmos is an amazing way to teach math concepts that keeps students engaged in a very unengaging situation. I especially enjoy Fraction Artist, Fraction Garden, Fido’s Flower Bed, and Cannonball Clowns. THANK YOU! I don’t know what I’d do without you!”

“Is there a limit to what you can do with Gizmos? With every unit and lesson, I learn about something new you can do with Gizmos. They are so versatile! I think performance tasks are a great way to show what students have learned and they also provide a lot of flexibility for scaffolding and differentiation. I just get more and more excited to use Gizmos the more I learn about them. I do love that the student worksheets and other resources are Google friendly, which will make it very easy to use Gizmos with Google Classroom”

“I am so thankful to have ExploreLearning! We are most likely doing a hybrid model and [Gizmos] were a life saver last year for me! So, we’re going to be utilizing them even more this year.”
