Welcome to Gizmo News!

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 7^th/8^th 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!
