Description
Summary:We developed a construction toolkit for teachers to create visual educational simulation, this work is an effort to support science and inquiry based education. Because teachers are subject matter experts in the classroom, they are excellent candidates to develop educational software that meets their own pedagogical goals. We report an evaluation of nineteen teachers creating educational simulation microworlds for physical science using this environment.
