The open source hardware platform Arduino has been the central platform of my electronics class since the beginning of 2008 and I've learned a lot in that time. I use the Arduino to teach some basic programming and introductory electronics concepts. This course led me to create a website (http://electronics.flosscience.com/) to help support my students as well as others who might want to use this platform in education. Now I'm ready for the next step.
"CodeLesson instructors develop curriculum (which mostly entails preparing reading and coding activities for students). Instructors also answer students' questions during the course and evaluate their work. Once your course is prepared, the total time commitment is typically a few hours each week, depending on the complexity of your subject and the number of students in your course.

"This is a short Arduino build I did and decided to share with other arduino beginners. This is a complete tutorial to show you how to use a potentiometer to control an LED's brightness with your Arduino microcontroller."
"In the space of one hour, my entire digital life was destroyed. First my Google account was taken over, then deleted. Next my Twitter account was compromised, and used as a platform to broadcast racist and homophobic messages. And worst of all, my AppleID account was broken into, and my hackers used it to remotely erase all of the data on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook."
