It is often the case that you don't have all the components required to build a circuit that is developing in your mind. Or, perhaps the circuit you wish to develop uses dangerously high voltages and currents. In such cases, it makes sense to use a simulator to test the idea in safety. Simulators are now commonly available, with the Tinkercad Circuits platform covered here accessible in your web browser. As well as simulating circuits, it can also execute Arduino code, as we show here. Circuit simulation made simple!

This is a really informative website that explains to readers what project based learning is. It reiterates the concepts that we have gone over thus far in EDCI397 in a simple and easy way. I especially like that there are separate pages to browse through on the right side of the page. The link, "Why PBL?" struck me. It explains that now, more than ever, students find school to be boring and pointless. We have to change this! Students are the future and we have to make sure that they play an active and engaging role in their worlds. These are definitely concepts that I will implement in my classroom.
This website describes what project-based learning is and reiterates the information I learned in EDCI397. It allowed me to get a better understanding of how useful project-based learning can be in a classroom and I definitely plan on using the concepts in my future classroom!
Here is a quick breakdown of what PBL involves.
