Hey students, let us have some fun while mastering the underlying concepts of physics and appreciating how they apply in our everyday lives! Each of you has a different journey and, hence, a different learning style, and for this reason, I use various approaches to teaching and learning. The choice of resource depends on the topic and your comfort and routine. I believe in the Socratic Method, where you do more than I do. I would only ask some questions with the aim of prompting you to think and get to the answers. This method is very effective in developing higher order thinking. As you appreciate how physics is present in everyday life, your understanding of how the world works improves, which further helps you relate different concepts and solve problems in different situations.
At the end of every lesson, you will be more knowledgeable and skilled, with a greater appreciation for the concepts of physics. In every class, goals are summarized at the end, followed by approaches to solving tricky problems, with a space for you to ask questions!
To summarize the different approaches and formats used in my online physics classes, are:
- Video lessons, using speech, e-notes, mind maps, and prompts
- Presentations to complement difficult topic -- Online labs and simulations to appreciate and better understanding of physics concepts
- quizzes and gamification, project based learning
- approaches to problem solving involving tricky situations
- working together on feedback
Happy learning and teaching!
