Gizmos are available anytime! everywhere!
Here's a letter that you can send to parents with lots of helpful information - including the fact that since Gizmos are internet-based, they are available anywhere, anytime you are connected! Although they are primarily for classroom use, they're also great for homework, assignments while away from school, etc. The assignments are always there for the student to print out or answer electronically, right from the lesson info page on every Gizmo!
Here's the parent letter (pdf & word format)

Hi Everyone! Welcome!
I am your Project Manager, and you can contact me for trainings, help, and ideas. I used Gizmos for many years during my 8 years teaching 7th/8th grade in South Florida. I look forward to creating a Gizmo community in which we can share best practices so that everyone gets help or inspiration...I will use this site to update you on training announcements, cool science or math ideas, how-to videos, and files that you may need. Check back often!
