Effective Tech for STEM by Frank Noschese

Inspired by Rhett Allain's physics explanations at Dot Physics, Dan Meyer's blog series "What Can You Do With This?", and Dan's TEDx plea for a math curriculum makeover, I have been collecting video clips that are prime for my physics students to analyze. Videos are categorized by topic to help teachers locate videos for the concepts at hand. Several videos are listed under multiple topics. The videos are presented without any further questions other than "Physics win or physics fail?" (real or fake?)

Robert Karplus' Introductory Physics: A Model Approach is an innovative textbook, written by a brilliant, inspiring teacher and pioneer in physics teaching reform. The book originated the key ideas of the modeling approach for teaching physics. This approach has been further evolved, developed and implemented by David Hestenes and many others, including Gregg Swackhamer, Malcolm Wells and Jane Jackson. In cooperation with Karplus' widow, Elizabeth Karplus, Dr. Brunschwig edited and published the Second Edition of Introductory Physics in 2003. This site includes a variety of additional materials that Brunschwig has developed related to the Karplus textbook.Fernand Brunschwig is a member of the faculty at Empire State College. He is on sabbatical for 2007-08 at Columbia Teachers College in NY City. Current Contact Information:brunschwig@tc.eduColumbia Teachers CollegeScience Education, Box 210525 West 120th StreetNew York, NY 10027
