Effective *and* Efficient on the Easternmost Tip of Canada

Isadore Snook, a mathematics e-teacher at the Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation in Newfoundland, Canada, writes, "...I used a Gizmo on rational functions in the classroom and the students loved it. It condensed my lesson by 20 minutes or more...I have a Master's of Education in Information Technology and I have always been keenly interested in learning objects.  Your "Gizmos" happen to be the BEST I have ever used."

I was very happy to read Isadore's comments because they highlight how Gizmos can make your instruction more efficient as well as more effective. Being able to cover fundamental topics more quickly means that you have more time to discuss additional / advanced topics, or can devote more effort to remediating specific areas of difficulty. Gone are the days when educational software was so cumbersome that integrating it into your lesson plans meant things moved more slowly and you covered fewer topics rather than more!

Thanks for writing to us, Isadore!
