“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
“Gizmos have helped my students visualize challenging concepts in a way that makes sense to them and allows them to manipulate variables to see the scientific process in action.”
- Teacher, Hamilton Southeastern High School
“As a teacher, this platform is a time saver for me, as there are ready-made tasks and STEM hours, but I also like that I can modify assignments at any time.”
- Teacher, Wicomico County School District
“I notice that many of my kids, who are struggling with abstract concepts, find Gizmos helpful.”
- Teacher, Wicomico County School District
“I do see my students highly engaged and focused when using Gizmos, and more able to self-pace, taking time to draw something or make observations at the speed that they write or process information. I also have a student who is 100% virtual for medical reasons, and she likes how accessible Gizmos are. Other teachers in my school use Gizmos even more than I do!”
- Teacher, Cohoes, New York
“Gizmos are a good visual way to teach topics that may be harder to visualize.”
- Teacher, Silver Lake Regional High School
“I have found a few other simulations, but none offer the amount of resources as Gizmos do.”
- High School Instructional Technology Facilitator, Tangipahoa Parish School District
“I have loved Gizmos for years. Gizmos definitely complement a lesson and they give visuals and interactions that are unmatched.”
- Teacher, DeKalb County School District
“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.”
- Teacher, High School of Science and Technology
“During virtual learning, Gizmos allows for students to continue to engage in lab work and model the work real scientists do in the field.”
