PhET simulations are useful for unpacking complex content that learners may not easily understand when explained and sometimes it is very difficult to manipulate a real experiment to show some concepts. Through a PhET simulation learners and teachers are able to see changing variables and sometimes explain them. They can be used as valuable resources for especially schools that are resource disadvantaged and can also be accessible when learners are not in class. Therefore it can also enable parents to be involved in learners school activities if the learners watch these at home. Additionally, these tools ensure equal education opportunities for all learners. Teachers, especially those who do not have sufficient experience and competencies , should be developed on effective use of these tools to ensure that learning outcomes are achieved. Education partners can also invest in education institutions, especially in disadvantaged schools by availing teaching tools like smartboards to ensure that these tools can be used in school-since there is no guarantee that learners may have access to other gadgets from which they can use these at home.

Who uses it
Professionals, educators, researchers, and project leads who need AI-assisted research, content generation, and automated workflows. Individuals and small teams use it to support planning, reporting, summarising complex information, and creating learning or presentation materials.

What it is used for
Genspark is an AI super agent workspace — meaning it uses multiple specialised AI models and integrated tools to autonomously handle complex tasks from start to finish. Rather than just responding to a single query, it can:

Conduct structured research and generate summaries

Produce slide decks, documents, spreadsheets, or multimedia content

Create reusable assets such as training materials or briefs

Automate workflows such as extracting insights from documents or visualising data

It integrates functions like AI Docs, AI Drive, and AI Sheets into one platform for seamless productivity.

Real example
A teacher or trainer could use Genspark to quickly synthesise research on ESD trends, generate a one-page brief with citations, auto-build a supporting slide deck, and export materials for an online workshop — all from one prompt. Teams use the platform to streamline lesson planning, capture key takeaways from reports, and scaffold learning resources for capacity-building activities.

One barrier
Access to reliable internet and digital skills. Genspark assumes users can navigate a feature-rich AI workspace, which can be a challenge for learners with low digital literacy or intermittent connectivity. It also requires some orientation to leverage its autonomous agents effectively.

People rely on it both for productivity (like drafting reports or analyzing data) and for learning (like exploring new concepts or practicing skills).

One barrier limited connectivity. In regions where internet access is expensive or unstable, participants may struggle to use Copilot consistently.

Padlet is a versatile digital platform that enhances collaboration, engagement, and interactive learning in educational settings.

The benefits of using Padlet are as follows:

1.      Enhancing Collaboration and Engagement

Padlet allows students and teachers to share ideas, resources, and multimedia content in real time, fostering active participation and collaborative learning. Its intuitive interface supports posting text, images, videos, links, and audio, enabling learners to contribute in multiple formats. This flexibility encourages creativity, critical thinking, and knowledge sharing, making it particularly effective for brainstorming, project planning, and interactive classroom discussions.

2.      Supporting Multimedia and Interactive Learning

Padlet’s visual, customizable layouts—including grids, streams, maps, timelines, and canvases—allow educators to organize content by learning objectives. Students can interact with materials at their own pace, while teachers can moderate posts, manage permissions, and integrate boards into Learning Management Systems (LMSs). This creates a student-centered learning environment that accommodates diverse learning styles and promotes engagement.

3.      Facilitating Online, Hybrid, and Distance Learning

In online and hybrid education, Padlet serves as a dynamic platform for synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, helping overcome challenges of student engagement and participation. It provides a virtual space where learners can interact, share resources, and contribute to discussions, reducing the limitations of traditional discussion boards and enhancing critical thinking and knowledge construction.

4.      Practical Benefits for Educators

Padlet simplifies lesson planning and resource management by centralizing materials in one accessible location. Teachers can create interactive boards for class discussions, assignments, portfolios, or multimedia collections. Its ease of use and adaptability make it suitable for classrooms of all levels, from primary education to higher education, and for professional development or team collaboration.

Padlet’s importance in education lies in its ability to transform traditional teaching approaches into interactive, collaborative, and technology-driven learning experiences. By integrating multimedia, supporting real-time collaboration, and enhancing student engagement, Padlet empowers educators to create more effective and inclusive learning environments.
