As someone who teaches this and knows the DIFFICULTY that comes along with this lesson, I love this! I believe this is something that I could implement in my classroom! I love the teacher guide that comes with it. There are so many activities and simulations out there that have zero guidance with it and that is so frustrating because you are left wandering about the website, which leaves me giving up on something that seemed sooooo promising!
I think visualization is so important for students because so many are visual learners: I think it is great that this technology really speaks to them and is able to support their way of learning. I also like that it has so many resources ready to go for the teachers to make use of it: sometimes I feel technology is so difficult and daunting that a lot of people will not attempt it, this looks like the resources help it to be very streamlined so that it is much quicker to use in the classroom.
Gizmos looks like a great tool to help students visualize mathematics concepts. I like that the resource provides guided steps for both the educator and the students as well as vocabulary worksheets. I like your idea of working through the steps ahead of time to see how it will work for students. It is nice so much of the material is pre-packaged, but you would also be able to create your own assessments as well.
