Calculators are a necessity today in learning technical topics and a graphing calculator is even better. Falconphysics prepared a series of online videos in another of Steve Dickie’s examples of using web tools in science education.
It starts here at Falconphysics’s Library on ScreenCast.com. There are nine video lessons available in the library that can be embedded into any simple blog or similar webpage and replayed, sent to those with computers on the Web, etc, etc.
Here’s a YouTube video of noted Marketing guru, Seth Godwin, talking to the staff at Google. Somehow it all seems a little weird, especially when you know that Google owns YouTube.
But, in spite of that unusual twist, it is an interesting few minutes. Take a few and enjoy, if you will.
(NB: CLICK ON GRAPH TO ENLARGE) –I have bumped into Mr. David Epner at the SPIE DSS Exposition almost every year now for the last 10 years. He is still giving away gold-plated Paper Clips as samples of the fine gold coating services he provides to the optics industry and others.
Last time we met, he was at a different conference, if I recall correctly it was at Interphex 2007 in New York City.
The curve for the specular reflectance of his Laser Gold Coating is actually three curves, if you look closely.
At that time I mentioned to him that if he had any press releases to send them along personally to me so we could put them on one of our websites. Today I got one. Someone else, bigger and better known than our publications have published the “Epner Story”. Here it is:
Aviation Week and Space Technology, the leading publication of the aerospace industry, has recognized Epner Technology as a key supplier.
In a full page article on Epner headlined “Gold Rush” and published in the November 19 issue, Joe Anselmo, their top Business Editor, described the company as a leading industry supplier to, “…aerospace and defense, medical, computer and automotive industries.”.
Needless to say, we deeply appreciate the recognition.
As a current (or future) Epner Technology customer, we thought you might be interested in what their editors had to say about the company, our unique processes and unusual applications and their interviews with some of our major customers.
Steve Dickie found another unique web tool, a “video blackboard”, well really a whiteboard, but far more than a whiteboard.
Using Sketchcast as a video blackboard complete with narration one can teach, literally anything that an instructor would teach to a class using chalk and a blackboard. But this lesson can be posted to a simple web page or series of web pages and archived for future re-use. Great!
In this example below, done by Steve, he provides a simple set of lessons on the physics of motion with a example of an experiment with a model rocket.
UC Berkeley offers a wealth of courses in the sciences and other fields as free, online videos and podcast formats.
This YouTube video clip by jimmyrcom (Jimmy Ruska) provides an overview of what’s available and how one can easily find and access specific topics.
There’s a lot here and you may want to play it several times.
The most interesting and important topics in physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events. Topics covered may vary and may include energy and conservation, radioactivity, nuclear physics, the Theory of Relativity, lasers, explosions, earthquakes, superconductors, and quantum physics.
