\"\"<\/a>In my earlier post I mentioned the\u00a0 STEM 2012 Conference in Beijing China<\/a>. One of the theme of the conference was the use of technology in preparing future STEM teachers. During my workshop I presented how I use Vernier Video Analysis<\/a> to engage my teacher-candidates in developing their knowledge of physics content and physics pedagogy. VideoAnalysis is an excellent way of engaging students in real-life physics and helping them develop critical thinking skills. It is also very easy to learn how to use, as LoggerPro software by Vernier (www.vernier.com) is very user-friendly. This presentation raised considerable interest. It is especially attractive today when most of our student own smartphones and can take photos and videos easily. I also thought that the use of video analysis in a physics classroom can complement many other resources, including the Physclips by the University of South Wales<\/a> (see my earlier post).<\/p>\n

For educators, who do not have access to Vernier VideoAnalysis, I would recommend using Tracker – a free software for Video Analysis and Physics Modeling developed by David Brown from Cabrillo College in California: http:\/\/www.cabrillo.edu\/~dbrown\/tracker\/<\/a><\/p>\n
