“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 had several students that did not really like math share that they now like math this year! One important topic in 3rd-grade math is multiplication, and Gizmos help students develop a visual understanding of how multiplication works.”
- Teacher, Defiance Elementary School
“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
“I notice that many of my kids, who are struggling with abstract concepts, find Gizmos helpful.”
- Teacher, Wicomico County School District
“I really admire the Gizmos content. The wide range of topics and the virtual labs that facilitate an understanding of the concepts were greatly appreciated by facilitators and students.”

“I teach two different types of classes. Some of my classes are a normal traditional class and some are a program that we call "Envision." This is a program where students are able to move at their own pace and they come to me when they need help. Over the last year, I noticed my Envision students always do better on Atlas, the state Biology test. I gathered them all together and asked them why they think they do better. Almost all of them said the same thing- Gizmos and data nuggets. I just wanted you to know that your program does make a difference! Thank you!”
- High school teacher, Lonoke High School
“I use Gizmos in my high school math class and had a student say, "Now I get it! Why didn't you show us this before?"”
- High school teacher
“In teaching life science, I find Gizmos particularly useful for observing cellular and subcellular structures. We certainly use real microscopes too, but Gizmos help multiple people look at and discuss something at the same time. As we move through the year, I’m looking forward to using Gizmos that deal with animals and ones that involve longer time scales than would be possible for a classroom lab.”
- Teacher
“Integrating Gizmos and STEM Cases into my teaching has truly transformed how my students approach learning. With Gizmos, their active engagement and hands-on exploration have led to a deeper grasp of scientific concepts, fostering a genuine curiosity for STEM subjects. Through immersive STEM Cases, I've witnessed a remarkable shift as students have become critical thinkers, collaborating seamlessly to apply their knowledge to real-world challenges, ultimately preparing them for future success in science and technology.”
- Teacher, Mesa Public Schools
“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”
