I enjoy being able to experiment and learn about the things we did this week. I can see applications for twitter and personal learning networks to classroom teachers. The aggregators idea is great for having stuff sent to you rather than to go looking for it.
Being the only physics teacher in our school really isolates me from talking to other physics teachers. Sometimes I just wish there was someone to talk to about the subject. Maybe these tools will help.
The format for the course is a wonderful way to really learn on your own. But, I am a project oriented person and just hope I am meeting all the requirements.

Wally - You are doing fine in regards to the class.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you are following @basler on Twitter. He is a HS Physics teacher. Send him a direct message or a "reply" by typing @basler in your message and introduce yourself!
Dale Basler co-taught this class with me this summer.
I know what you mean about being the only physics teacher in the building. I've been there before. Even now, I will be the only teaching IB Physics at my HS. The other physics teachers teach semester long physics classes that don't have the same objectives or audience that mine will. I've been "lurking" around in a forum specifically for IB physics teachers and just might join. I'm even considering joining AAPT. Are you a member?
