I have a degree in Physics Science, M.Sc. and PhD in Science, Technology and Education, with a line of research in New Teaching Technologies. I have 20 years of experience in the classroom, with some articles published in Scientific Journals. I created this software as a Master's and Doctorate Final Work, and I decided to share it with Science teachers who were interested in acquiring interactive material that could improve Science Teaching, enabling teachers to: • Changing parameters of a phenomenon; • Show the microscopic world; • Demonstrate planetary phenomena; • Dangerous or very expensive phenomena; • Very slow or very fast phenomena
I believe that teaching science can go beyond mere still images and videos. For this reason, I created EducaTech, and I offer this tool as one more tool to help in teaching Science. At the beginning of this project, I asked myself: How to satisfactorily teach WAVE PHENOMENA or ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION to this generation of students? WHAT ABOUT ATOMIC MODELS, COMBUSTION or ENERGY TRANSFORMATION? PHOTOSYNTHESIS or CELL CYCLE? Teach very fast phenomena, like the speed of light, or planetary ones, like eclipses or phases of the moon? These “Interactive Lessons” help teachers to improve students' understanding, and, as I have already proven in some scientific articles, they significantly improve the learning coefficient. These files are simulators that model the Phenomena of Nature in an interactive and innovative way, aligned with the academic standard, in the Area of Natural Sciences (Elementary and Secondary Education). The software was created to work without the need for the internet, and to be used by teachers when explaining content that is difficult for students to view and understand. As a result, your grades improve significantly, including on the SAT exams. The software helps to minimize the high degree of abstraction of our students, it gives teachers a great tool to work with, regardless of the school they teach.
