this afternoon 16 fellow teachers visited etd to find out more about r&d. hereis a list of documents which may be useful. so if you are here, do grab them if you like 🙂
1. blogger.com HOWTO – creation of a blog on blogger.com is really a breeze, 3 steps, 5 minutes and your blog will be up. this is a step-by-step guide that will lead you through the setting up.
2. bloglines.com HOWTO – bloglines is an online RSS reader. the reader would be useful if you need to monitor updates in a class of 40, and you have 3 classes.
3. WinXP Chinese Input Method Editor (IME) 3.0 HOWTO – students will be able to setup CL input at home by following the steps described; pass it to CL teachers for distribution.

Gravity (or no gravity), anyone?

NASA Quest has this 37 mins video on their page which might be suited for any Physics teacher touching on the topic of gravity. Th program demonstrates the actions of a variety of children’s toys in microgravity for classroom comparison with the actions of similar toys on Earth. Enjoy, regardless if you are a physics teacher 🙂
