I love this program. The ease with which your certificate is delivered upon the completion of your weekly module is amazing. Thank you Coursera! Thank you University of Colorado!

PhET Interactive Simulations ( https://phet.colorado.edu/ ), a project of the University of Colorado Boulder, provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations for use across, primary, secondary, and higher education levels. We extensively test and evaluate each simulation to ensure educational effectiveness. All simulations are open source and free to all students and teachers. In this course, you will learn how to access and share PhET simulations with your students, and explore the features that make PhET sims a powerful tool for science and mathematics teachers. You will also learn about how to ensure equity in your teaching through the use of active learning. This course is the first one of the specialization “Active Learning in STEM with PhET Interactive Simulations”, which includes 4 courses in total. To finish this course, you need to complete one assignment with Peer Review: 1) Selecting PhET simulations. This course is also available in Spanish as “Introducción a las Simulaciones PhET para la Educación STEM” and in Portuguese as "Introdução às Simulações PhET para Educação STEM".

I have learn how to use stimulation to make science more exploring and interesting
SA
it is a nice and interesting journey on Phet as it will be helpful in my career. rated 4 because of navigation strategy, there is need to be told
DK
This is really a great way to teach and learn. Much easier for learners to understand. PhET sims must be accessible to all learners.
EA
Teachers learn to prepare an active learner's lesson Plan at the end of the course.
JA
It's been a time well spent taking the course, I've truly gained a lot. the course is well structured and easy to follow.
JY
This course allowed me to get familiar with PhET in a better way.
SU
The course has an easy and connecting flow of contents
OC
Such an enriching course, informative and easy to understand. Gives the learners sufficient time to learn at their own pace and convenience. I'm so glad to be a beneficiary of this course.

I enjoyed the pace and the presentation of the course materials. Although I have used Phet simulations for years, the assignments helped me to explore more about what Phet has to offer, both through the variety of simulations and the teaching techniques presented in the course. I would give 5 stars except for some frustration with the assignment format. I encountered several times when sections of coursework were labeled as optional but were actually required. I didn't mind completing the optional tasks but they added unplanned time to the completion of the coursework.
Thank you so much, for giving me the opportunity to take this excellent introductory course, and for the great content, and pedagogical material shared.
Introduction to PhET Simulations for STEM Education is an excellent course, that develops the competencies & skills, to introduce the use of Active Learning as a pedagogical strategy to use PhET sims in subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology among others.
In addition, other techniques to accompany PhET, such as, Concept Questions & Peer Instruction, Whole Class Inquiry, and Interactive Lecture Demonstrations are taught and showcased with examples, descriptions, and videos.
The peer to peer method of evaluation gives also a great opportunity to develop the technique for further applications in our own classes, adding the PhET sims.
PhET helps to develop intuition and the scientific method in STEM subjects.
Kind Regards.
At the end of this course I found out that students should view challenges as opportunity. As a teacher I should experiment with different teaching methods and learning strategies. It's also good to celebrate growth because growth mindset is more better than fixed mindset Students should also make connections to everyday life. It's also good to foster a supportive goal oriented learning environment. . In conclusion students should take and sense ownership of their learning experience. Then teacher s should make use of Phet simulations to teach tough Topics
This course is well structured, educative and equips teachers with the requisite skills to impact learners with 21st century skills. The simulations are interesting and engaging. I recommend it to all teachers across the globe. Thank you.
If you're looking towards learning how to use STEM in Classroom with easy-to reach resources, then PhET Simulation is for you.
It's been a time well spent taking the course, I've truly gained a lot. the course is well structured and easy to follow.
It was an enjoyable engaging and insightful learning experience. I feel ready to to introduce PhET into my classroom
Very interesting course I recommend that all Teachers teaching science courses should enroll for this course.
