ExploreLearning is celebrating! Gizmos and STEM Cases were chosen as winners of Tech & Learning's Best of Show awards at ISTELive 24. These annual awards recognize products exhibited at ISTE that are transforming education in schools worldwide. ISTELive24 was recently held in Denver, with hundreds of sessions and exhibitors.
Recognizing excellence at ISTELive24
Tech & Learning judges reviewed the nominated products on the show floor to choose the winners for this year’s awards. The evaluation criteria included ease of use, value, uniqueness in the market, and proof that the product made teachers' lives easier and supported student achievement.
“Although AI was the most talked-about topic at this year’s ISTE conference, we were impressed by the array of nominated products that continued to support the nuts and bolts of teaching and learning and meaningfully integrated emerging tech,” says Christine Weiser, content director for Tech & Learning. “Our judges chose the products that they believed best-supported innovation in the classroom and district. Congratulations to our winners!”
The impact of Gizmos and STEM cases
Gizmos are interactive math and science labs and simulations for grades 3-12. STEM Cases put students in the role of STEM professionals tasked with solving real-world problems. When students experiment through Gizmos and STEM Cases, they work with the best STEM learning tools for the classroom.
With a library of over 550 virtual simulations, Gizmos give everyone something to graph, measure, compare, predict, and prove. That’s hundreds of experiences where students don’t just act like scientists and mathematicians; they become STEM pros.
In 2023, over 51,142,882 students used Gizmos to capture and compare experiment results through visualizations and graphing tools. Isn’t it time to add Gizmos to your STEM resources?
