Learning about Teaching Physics

This podcast is my most recent brainchild, arising from my interests in science education, education research, and communication. As of May 2011 we have one produced episode, temporarily on the Podomatic site, but this will be eventually hosted on the National Science Digital Library.
We're getting the physics education research out of those stuffy journals and into your hands (or, rather, ears) with this little audio podcast. Co-hosted by veteran high school physics teacher Michael Fuchs and physicist and education researcher Stephanie Chasteen, each episode investigates a piece of the research literature and how it can relate to your classroom.

Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears Podcast

A collaborative project with the National Science Digital Library. This podcast is geared towards elementary educators to help them use polar science to address common student misconceptions about science. This webzine won the SPORE award from AAAS for integrating science & literacy, and the episode "Warm Blankets and Cold Breezes" was featured in the presentations at the presidential ceremony for science teaching excellence.
