Job Description:

Tech Coach

Title:

Instructional Designer and Educational Technology Graduate Student

Preferred Web 2.0 Applications and Usernames

As a former physics teacher, my favorite tools are probes and data collecting software. There is no better way to truly understand position graphs than to see the graph being made in front of your eyes!

And, of course, web 2.0 technologies top my list as ways to collaborate and share information.

Interested in learning more about:

High school use of online learning.

Real examples of high school teachers in various disciplines using web 2.0 to support learning.

Finding the perfect job that combines teaching physics with supporting teachers' meaningful use of technology in their curriculum.

Glad you liked it! If you need any more resources, let me know. "Physics stories..." I'm intrigued! Actually, we have biology, chemistry, health, and social studies teachers who use it as well. Thanks for the connection!

Hope you and all your fellow 'huskies' at NIU are doing well. Know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many around the country during this stressful, confusing time.
