Making Wake

FVL Science Department Head, Mr. Ben Stern, describes teachers' involvement in designing and implementing educational software.

In the world of education, technology has revolutionized teaching and learning. This is especially apparent in science education, where computer models and games give students the ability not only to observe complex systems, but also to make changes to these systems and see what results, leading to a deeper understanding of the topic at hand.
