Gizmos promote active learning

One of the most rewarding parts about being an educator is the moment when your teaching helps unlock new concepts in students' minds.  What can be even more rewarding is when students then challenge themselves to learn even more. As teacher Amy Barrieau has discovered, Gizmos encourage students to take their understanding to this next level:

"I've had much success with Gizmos thus far and some great feedback from students and parents alike...Gizmos encourage cognitive flexibilty in the way [they] require students to question, explore, test and discover in multiple ways.  The simulations are accurately based on real life tests and students challenge themselves to find new combinations of variables to accomplish a goal."

While other products are "sit and receive", passive tools, Gizmos promote active learning. Students can experience phenomena virtually and connect classroom learning with the real world.
