General
How I Use It
Students interact with various simulators. PhET offers a wide variety of math and science applications. There are lots of ways to interact with each of the labs.
My Take
Students sometimes have too many variables/manipulatives to change and that can result in confusion of the outcome. A lot of the student activities are long and can be overwhelming. I often select part of the activity to complete.
