Arduino and Learning: H.S. Teacher Ariel Simons
A powerful recipe for engaged learning: Show students how to command actions in the physical world – make lights blink, sounds sound, motors move, robots roam, sensors sense. Combine this concrete act of control over physical objects activity with the abstract power of programming – show students how to make those lights blink in response to the sounds, make the sensors guide the motors. Apply this combination of software and hardware hacking to measuring the radiation levels near Fukushima and aggregating radiation data, a task that the Japanese government apparently failed to do for months. Now you are talking about engaged students. Ariel Simons uses the inexpensive Arduino open source hardware platform to bring high school students together with coding, circuitry, citizen science. My own curiosity introduced me to Arduino recently.

27 Easy Ways To Encourage Teamwork In School
If you are quick to criticize others, enjoy knowing that you’re a bit smarter than someone else, or sometimes put others down to make yourself feel better, then you’re not really that interested in teamwork. It’s not the end of the world if you utilize the ol ‘red pen mentality’ and regularly critique others. But it’s not a very helpful thing to do. Especially in a school. That’s because most schools are built on teamwork, camraderie, and mutual appreciation. In other words, teachers help other teachers.
Physics Community Afire With Rumors of Higgs Boson Discovery | Wired Science
One of the biggest debuts in the science world could happen in a matter of weeks: The Higgs boson may finally, really have been discovered. Ever since tantalizing hints of the Higgs turned up in December at the Large Hadron Collider, scientists there have been busily analyzing the results of their energetic particle collisions to further refine their search. “The bottom line though is now clear: There’s something there which looks like a Higgs is supposed to look,” wrote mathematician Peter Woit on his blog, Not Even Wrong.
