Last October, we formed a partnership with the University of Colorado Boulder’s PhET Interactive Simulations project. This month, 15 PhET simulations went live on the LoL platform!
“PhET is a fantastic resource,” said Teresa Cobble, an eighth-grade science teacher from Atlanta, Georgia. “After being in the classroom for almost a decade, I still find it difficult to find resources that work together, are appropriate for the content I am covering and are engaging for the students. My students love Legends of Learning and the addition of PhET simulations will give them an even richer experience.”
