Start the school year with Gizmos!
Once again, it's that special time of the year: Back to school! The classrooms are spotless, the notebooks are full of crisp paper and the pencils are freshly sharpened. But, the one thing that will get students interested in learning isn't the allure of colorful book covers, it's technology. Follow the lead of middle school teacher Lindsey Blevins and integrate Gizmos in your classroom to keep students engaged the whole year through:
"I found that with the added use of technology, using Gizmos, I reached even a greater percentage of my students because of the varied level of instruction each Gizmo provides. I was able to direct students with specialized learning needs, from basic to advanced...Even those students who may not be technology oriented had an interest in the Gizmos because they were manipulating the learning situation and it became an individualized challenge for them to succeed....ExploreLearning and Gizmos has provided a wonderful technology tool that provides strong differentiated, supplemental instruction."
