"Switch Classroom is the most effective instructional resource for energy I use in my Environmental Science Classroom. It is super engaging for students, addresses every learning objective in the unit, explores the pros and cons of energy sources from a variety of vantage points, offers comprehensive energy solutions, and above all, is absolutely fair-minded in its approach."

"I love the ability to show short clips in class or assign portions of a unit for students to complete at home. It shortens classroom lecture time and allows for classroom discussions instead."

"Dr. Tinker does such a great job explaining energy concepts in student-friendly ways. We watched the Switch full length film after using several of the shorter videos in class and it was a great summary!"

Salem, MA, 10th/11th Enviromental Science

"I love the self paced nature of the lessons for my students. They can go back to the introduction to each lesson as needed and can pause and ask me questions as needed. Also, if they need more time on any of the assignments they can bring the work home with them. Finally, I really like the inclusion of bell-ringers and tickets to leave as these are super useful to have on hand and already tailored to the lesson."
