Learning First Peoples Classroom: Look for evidence of the integration of First Peoples Principles of Learning in science and different subject areas in the context of BC curriculum and Nova Scotia.

The Life Scientific: Listen to Prof. Jim Al-Kahlili as he talks to leading scientists about their life and work, finding out what inspires and motivates them and asking what their discoveries might do for us in the future. Most of the time, I pay attention how Jim asks and frames his questions – a wonderful way of developing student’s way of thinking and argumentation skills. Pay attention as well on the role and presence of family, parents, mentors, friends, school, and the environment in shaping his interviewees’ life – from ordinary kids to outstanding scientists. Check also Jim’s TV, radio, books, and other fantastic science-communication pursuits.

PhET Interactive Simulations: Originally known as Physics Education Technology is now providing and creating interactive simulations in different fields including physics, chemistry, math, earth science, and biology. Seeing students engaging with these simulations is like watching scientists doing experiments. PhET enhances learning and find out more on how how students interact with computer simulations and what makes an educationally effective simulation.

The Why Factor: Listen, learn and be skeptical on all the questions about life, science, etc. that we and our friends, colleagues, students are wanting for answers.

Prof. Taber’s Science-Education-Research Blog: Visit Keith’s blog for critical and expansive conversations about science (physics, chemistry, etc.) pedagogy, didactics, etc.

Science & Math Education Videos for All: Check out the videos I have created in collaboration with Prof. Marina Milner-Bolotin, my PhD supervisor, through a generous funding from UBC Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund. Update yourself as well on the trends in learning technology-pedagogy and outreach in STEM, etc. from Marina’s blog.

Virtual & Augmented Reality Resources 4 STEM Teachers: Initial explorations to maximise the potentials and impacts of VR/AR technology in the field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in Canada. I started this blog in collaboration with Prof. Marina Milner-Bolotin, my PhD supervisor, and funded by UBC Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology.

Physics colloquium: For the latest on everything theoretical and experimental physics research, check the physics colloquium including the video portal, a partnership event between ETH-Zurich and University of Zurich.

Science View: For cutting edge research, innovation and technology created by Japanese scientists and engineers.

UCLA Center X: Learning how to transform public schooling through inquiry and change, by asking questions and solving problems, fueled by passionate resolve and persistent effort.
