At first blush, Eric White -- social studies teacher at Whitfield Career Academy in northwest Georgia and the unofficial evangelist of project-based learning in the Whitfield County School District -- wasn't sold on project-based learning. Here are White's top tips for implementing projects that engage and reward students while deepening their learning and enhancing their ability to retain valuable knowledge: CPR: Critique, Presentations, Reflections Critique: White and his teaching partner, Lindsey Ott, routinely pause in mid-project to allow time for four or five student-to-student critiques before they accept any student work.

The Open Source Physics project, with its wide variety of packages, libraries, programs, and files, is a large body of work useful for the study of computational physics. Many instructors, however, do not teach (or do research in) computational physics. On this site you will find three different types of material suitable for teaching introductory to advanced physics: Program Archives, Package Archives, and Worksheets.
Physlet Books The second edition to Physlet Physics, and Physlet Quantum Physics represents a major change in how the Physlet-based interactive materials are delivered to teachers and students alike.
