In three weeks (on January 21st) I will be speaking at Nerd Nite Vancouver event: http://vancouver.nerdnite.com/. In 15 minutes I will have an opportunity to share with the audience ( I think these are people who might not be scientists but who are interested in t) how I see the future of education and how […]
A few days ago I listened to “The Current” show on CBC radio with a Canadian astronaut and a very prominent figure for many Canadians – Chris Hadfield . The show was devoted to science education and it raised considerable interest. Chris Hadfield defined science in the show as a formalized curiosity. I liked that definition – as […]
As BC teachers’ strike is continuing, I am glad that not everywhere in Canada teaching in general and science education in particular is “under attack”. We need strong voices across Canada that help the general population realize why it is so important to have a strong public education system. I was so excited to see […]
This summer I have been teaching a graduate course EDCP 585B – Teaching mathematics and science through technology. This year it has been an extremely rewarding experience. One reason for it – a variety of expertise of the students and they willingness to explore uncharted territories. We had an opportunity to discuss a lot of […]
In a few days May will be over and summer will begin! I know, the summer is not going to be officially here till June 21st, but for me, the summer starts on June 1st and ends on August 31st. This year we are planning a very exciting summer filled with STEM (Science, Technology, […]
Tomorrow I will take part in the Equinox Summit – learning 2030: http://wgsi.org/equinox-summit/equinox-summit-learning-2030 It will take place on UBC Campus at the Faculty of Education. I am honoured, I was invited to be one of the panelists. In preparation I have read about this initiative and found it interesting. It also resonated with the Next Generation […]
I am very fortunate to attend the winter 2014 Conference of the American Association of Physics Teachers. It gives me an opportunity to stay up with physics education, to learn from my colleagues and to share what we are doing here at UBC with others. I presented today at the session on physics teaching in […]
I am very proud to say that I am a member of the Organizing Committee of the STEM 2014 Conference that will be hosted by our Department this Summer. While you can read the information about the conference from its web site, I want to share that we, as organizers, are working very hard to […]

We want as many people to see the film as possible! inShare A Chemical Imbalance is a short documentary which celebrates female scientists and looks at why women are still so […]
I am currently teaching a graduate online course that explores how students learn mathematics and science with technology and how we can design more effective learning environments to support students. I do not want to tell much about this course, but here are a few projects designed by the students. I found them very powerful. […]
