I just found out that October 5th has been designated by UNESCO as World Teachers’ Day. I was glad that it is an official day and many great teachers all over the world will be recognized today. Teachers play such an important role in our lives… I also hope that Teachers who inspire their students […]
This term I teach future physics teachers. I have a group of wonderful students (13 future physics teachers) and we meet for three hours a week. Last week the students had an opportunity to visit a local school for a day (on a one-day practicum) and observe lessons, interact with teachers and students… When they […]
This term I am very fortunate to be able to teach a graduate course on the Research in Science Education (EDCP 559 at UBC). This course makes me think and rethink many of the concepts I thought I have understood before. It made me think how we build our understanding and how new ideas fit […]
Today it was my first day teaching future physics teachers at UBC. It is so exciting to have an opportunity to inspire new physics teachers. I remember how grateful I was to more experienced physics teachers in Israel who helped me to get started. I especially remember Korina Polinger – a physics teacher from Rehovot […]
I am a member of the BCAPT e-mail list. And this is what I received through the list today. What an amazing gift. Thank you Andy for sharing it with us. This is Andy’s text: “This image is just mind-blowing. It was originally captured in 1927 at the Solvay Conference, attended by some of the […]
I am delighted to hear about this very special web site about Richard Feynman – http://www.richard-feynman.net
How do you know that your kids have grown up? When you come to Science World and you realize that you haven’t been there for a while… I have been volunteering with the Scientists and Innovators in the School organization since 2006. This organization is run by the Science World and it bridges scientists and […]
I am confident every educator should watch Ken Robinson’s presentation… I also really like how it is illustrated.
Every year something very neat and unexpected happens at AAPT National Meetings. It is of course super fun to see all my physics teaching friends and colleagues, but it is something I expect to happen. However, I am always going to the meetings in anticipation of good surprises and amazing “aha” moments. For example, a […]
