Tomorrow's Presentation

4/29/2014

0 Comments

 
Tomorrow I will be giving a presentation to one of the toughest crowds I have ever faced.  I can't invite you, because it is an exclusive group.  The place is so restrictive that I will have to sign in and wear a name tag.  I will be presenting to my daughter's fifth grade class.  Wish me luck!

[the next day] It went really well! :) And, I had a great time.  I talked about what flipping is, showed a 30 second time-lapse of an 87 minute traditional class, showed portions of some Flipping Physics videos, assailed them with math, showed a compilation of my kids helping out in the videos, set up a green screen, filmed the kids and their teacher, edited that to a 1.5 minute video and showed them the video.  All in 35 minutes.  Nice eh?

The Wall of Amazing Financial Supporters

4/28/2014

0 Comments

 
Today I updated my "give" webpage.  I have added "The Wall of Amazing Financial Supporters" and added this message:

Well, we have a fortnight to go before the AP Physics tests and many of the students using my web resources have fewer than 3 fortnights left in their high school careers. Therefore I am going to ask you for your financial support. Many people have told me that my “business model” is crazy. That giving away all of my content for free is foolhardy. That the only way to make money is to sell content. I don’t like their advice.

My theory is that there are many people out there who wouldn’t be able to pay for this content. However, there are enough people who can afford to donate money and who will donate money to outweigh those who can’t. As a teacher, I want to be able to educate as many people as possible, regardless of their ability to support me financially.

So please, if you have learned from me this year, support me financially.  If you can’t afford that, there are many other ways to help out.

Good luck on the AP Physics exam and on all your final exams.

Thank you very much for your support, financially and otherwise,

Jon

I have been accepted to present at FlipCon14!! This is the national flipping conference than happens every June.  I am pretty darn excited.  My session is "±5 Ways To Make Engaging Flipping Videos".  My description is "5 ways NOT to make flipping videos and 5 ways to make your flipping videos more engaging.  Learn from my experience with what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to making flipping videos for students.  I’ve done it wrong, I’ve done it right and I’ve learned a lot along the way.  Don’t repeat my mistakes, learn from them!  Intended for any flipping teacher who wants to make their own video lessons better."

Part 2 of the ball drop experiment.

4/23/2014

0 Comments

 
This is the 2nd part of the video I posted recently.  Here we find the final velocity of the ball right before it strikes the bucket, which means we get to review component vectors!  Oh, and I show that my hand is always above the ball as it falls, something many of my students were skeptical to believe.

An Introductory Projectile Motion Problem

For years I did a theoretical in-class problem that was essentially just numbers on the board.  Today’s video makes theory a reality thanks to the rest of my family spending almost 2 hours filming in the parking lot of our local high school.  Yep, we can drop a ball into a bucket from a moving car.

The girls and I went to the Robotics F.I.R.S.T. Michigan State Championship today.  Thanks for the warm reception Robostangs.  Good luck.

If you have never been to a competition, I definitely suggest you go.  It is amazing what these students are able to accomplish.

Introduction to Projectile Motion

If you haven’t seen my recent videos, the first 1 minute of today’s video will give you a good review of the last few.  That is because, before we begin learning about Projectile Motion, I review the previous linear motion examples.  So please enjoy and thank you very much for your “likes”. 😄

A Visually Complicated Vector Addition Problem using Component Vectors

4/3/2014

0 Comments

 
In this, the last of our tip-to-tail vector addition problems, we put together everything we know about vector addition.  I make it look a little bit confusing, simply to prove that, no matter how visually confusing the problem may be, you still solve it the same way. (Thank you very much for your “likes”. 😉)

    Yep, I make physics videos in the hope that you can learn physics.  If you are a physics teacher, I am very hopeful that you will want to use them to help flip your physics class.
