On the Web: Circuit Construction Set


During my day job a call was mistakenly transferred to me. It was a teacher that needed help with a website not loading. Normally I only take calls related to the systems I manage and support. Turns out it was a Java applet that a science teacher was trying to us in the computer lab. Once he emailed me the link and I saw what it was, I got excited. It's a Java applet that you can learn basic circuits. Check it out below.

Turns out downloading and updating Java fixed it. The joys of Java!
