Welcome!

This website supports the paper, "Tools for High-Tech Tool Use: a Framework and Heuristics for Using Interactive Simulations", published in the Journal of Teaching and Learning with Technology (JoTLT).

The site provides additional documentation for the paper, including: the assignments used in the quantum tunneling and build-a-molecule activities, an outline of a newly revised quantum tunneling tutorial, and a more in-depth overview of quantum tunneling. Links to the simulations used in the studies can be found, as well as a list of references.
