“Social Networking for DC Physics” is a very informative videocast on Blip.tv about how one High School Science teacher, Steve Dickie at Divine Child High School in Dearborn, Michigan USA is using the resources on the Web to enrich the educational experiences of his students.
We have already seen one such example from the Web by another group. We believe that this is the start of a whole, exciting new trend in education and effective use of the Web.
Congratulations to Steve for his cool work!
You can see more and get other examples from his and some of his students work at: blip.tv/users/view/falconphysics

Thanks for the kind words.
You mentioned another group doing social networking. Could you link me to information about it? I’d love to see what they are doing and how I might be able to use it to improve my own endeavor.
Steve,
Sorry, I don’t mean to give you that impression. What I meant was that your work is a fine example of how some new tools on the Web can be used in education and the follow up will some examples from your instructional videos, I’ll keep my open; and let you know I do a lot of searching in educational spaces on the Web.
I took no offense from your post. I just love seeing how other people leverage Web 2.0 as a tool for learning. I also know I can always improve on what I do. I tell my students that while I’m damn near perfect I do make the occasional mistake.
Steve,
I almost forgot. There’s an interesting website, edu-cyberpg.com that deals with computer & internet technologies and education. Most of their focus has been areas other than physical sciene, but they are realizing they are missing something by not reaching out.
FYI, if you haven’t run across them, there’s a very dedicated group at the Library of The University of Pennsylvania working, much like Google Scholar and Project Gutenburg, to bring as many books to the public via the Web as possible. They go by the name “Book People”. They are at onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/ and well worth a visit.
