Classkick vs PhET Simulations

Classkick is a free app that students work on and get help instantly from their teacher and peers. Students work on assignments with their Chromebooks, laptops, or iPads, while getting help from teachers and peers instantly. Teachers create assignments, see all their students’ work in real-time, and give LOTS of student feedback. Best of all, students can help each other anonymously. Using Classkick, feedback to students increases by 300% and grading time is cut in half. “Classkick is every teacher’s dream.” - Lynne Shalman, Chapin School “Students love Classkick...it was magic!” - Greg Port, Seton College TEACHERS... - CREATE paperless assignments using existing worksheets, audio, video or web content. - SEE every students’ work simultaneously. - GIVE instant feedback when it is most important. - FACILITATE peer-to-peer feedback and learning.

Note: The app does not include PhET’s Java or Flash sims. In addition, although we are currently working on improving the accessibility of our sims, most of the sims included in this app do not include keyboard navigation or screen reader access. As accessible sims become available, they will be updated within the app. Proceeds from the app support the development of more HTML5 sims.
