Physics educator hell-bent on whisking physics and programming in the classroom

I will be teaching some colleagues who are new to programming about Snap! I made a little trailer video as a teaser. #physicswithsnap https://t.co/IA27ezpZIo

@fnoschese I use Padlet so students can upload or sketch graphs for all to see and for me to organize.

Some 9th grade honors physics students are not in love with using Snap! After probing I surmised they are not impressed because we are using Snap! to do physics we already did on paper. Also, Snap! is foreign turf here they are not perfect. Work to do, yet.

[MGMannix @PhysicsWithSnap]

@moenig @SAP @EvaZauke Interesting! What type of exercises were being done? I am starting a weather and climate course, next semester.

[MGMannix @PhysicsWithSnap]

@gbenedisgrab @STEMcoding Yes. I would like that. I saw your LinkedIn profile. I was Peace Corps - Nepal 1990-92.

[MGMannix @PhysicsWithSnap]

Right now I can only wish for students coming into my class to have learning experiences like this.

@brianwfrank The black student said "All Lives Matter." Ironic. If you were to bring up the BLM movement, that issue fits in a discussion of systematic error/bias. What else explains 12% of the pop. being 35% of prison pop. ?

@Misterfizzx I am late to the party on this, but this will be my next Arduino project. Thanks!

[MGMannix @PhysicsWithSnap]

@Misterfizzx And similar when coding for CV vehicle? Good stuff. I think coding can be a featured mode of teaching/learning physics. Thanks for sharing.

I teach physics, but I love the engagement when I employ Snap! Today's new application of Snap! squeezed more juice from the standard motion lab. Read blog post at https://t.co/d2L75FkFaO

[MGMannix @PhysicsWithSnap]

The new school year begins! I am optimistic about my evolving approach to weave Snap! into my physics teaching. Here is my new blog entry providing details on Snap!-based exercises as an upgrade to a static worksheet...https://t.co/nVuVMfzX7H

I can't wait for the day my new 9th grade students walk in my room expecting to use a visual block language to learn. This curve can't get too steep. Looking good.

Hello world! I am ready for this semester’s run using Snap! in my physics class. There is now a website that links to my blog. Check it out at https://t.co/9dmhaJzZGS

[Jens Mönig @moenig]

So we know that blocks-based programming works. When will enterprise languages become more like Scratch? Why let kids have all the fun? 🤓

[MGMannix @PhysicsWithSnap]

@fnoschese @brianwfrank @CGordonPVHS @jim_deane @MissMLMedrano @Tweetlahuac @clyminghawk I like this. Fly in the ointment, for me, is separation between N2L and the other two. I just reshaped things to address this. It is never perfect. Thanks for the food for thought.

[MGMannix @PhysicsWithSnap]

@hackingmath That goes for physics, too.

[MGMannix @PhysicsWithSnap]

Snap! can be used to guide student thinking in an application of Snap! Perfect for blended learning. Here is a 2.5 min. video demo. https://t.co/k6uigqGmla

@NicoleUSVI I really wish I could be there for your presentation. Let me know if there is any on-line representation of what is being presented. Best wishes.
