With all the overwhelming formulas, strange symbols and abstract concepts, it takes a lot of effort for teachers to impart knowledge to their students -- especially if the students are kids. But in this age of new technology, teachers are given the opportunity to make teaching a little bit easier and a lot more fun. Armed with tools such as tablets (iPad, Kindle Fire, etc.), educators now gain access to a wide array of teaching weapons, especially in areas like physics or general mathematics. Electrons Electrons (by Urban Sedlar) is a charged particle simulator which allows you to observe particle interactions, simulate a lightning rod, create a cathode ray tube, and better visualize all those hard-to-illustrate concepts.
