More Resources for BCSD Staff

Gizmos

Fun and easy to use, Gizmos help students develop a deep understanding of challenging concepts through inquiry and exploration. Students use Gizmos to interact with and explore hundreds of math and science topics ranging from heredity to trigonometry. Teachers use Gizmos as dynamic "what-if" tools to help students move beyond memorizing to true understanding. Each simulation is ideal for small group work, individual exploration, or whole class instruction using an LCD projector or interactive whiteboard.

Additionally, go to the BCSD Google Drive, Technology Shared drive for training and in-house resources. District support person: Michele Gasser
