2. As I teach, I find myself dropping bits of insight, and facts about modern physics, quantum and string theories, particle physics, and other more ‘advanced’ concepts which have not found their way into the high school curriculum. Such wonderful digressions, coupled with a sense of humor and lots of energy and compassion, constitute a large part of my teaching style. Eyes invariably light up! Looking at something changes it!!! http://www.metacafe.com/watch/4096579/dr_quantum_double_slit_experiment_entanglement/ Here’s a read re. the evolution of Physics into the quantum era… http://seatofthesoul.com/books/dancing-wu-li-masters/ View of the Large Hadron Collider cryo-magnet inside the tunnel.

4. As a proponent of technology’s judicious use in the Physics classroom, I advocate the introduction, apart from lab apparatus, one new piece of hardware or software per unit. I have found much more than that can actually detract from internalization of content. Look forward to working with you all :)
