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!

Food for thought
Great teachers empower their students to engage with the content. These classrooms can often appear noisy as students discuss and argue, get excited and share. Our traditional teacher observation and evaluation instruments undermine real great teachers. These instruments often focus on what the TEACHER IS DOING not on what the students are doing. Administrators are often looking for teachers who are directing the learning, standing in the front of an orderly classroom talking and asking questions. Teachers who are on the side, guiding and facilitating are often marked down because administrators do not observe the behaviors of the checklist. We need to change the way teachers are observed - and the feedback they receive - from the administrators that determine their contracts. We need to find ways to encourage our REAL GREAT TEACHERS.
