I found out that there is an Office Add-In for @PhETsims where you can embed the simulations so your lesson can run smoothly rather than clicking on a link to open in a browser. Not sure if this is possible on Google Slides.. 🤔 #edtech #ukedchat #ASEchat

How do you want to start your day? Choose your mindset with care it can set the tone for your day. I like to start by repeating a mantra to myself or saying out loud all the things I'm grateful for #teacher5aday #wellness #hugalife
