Every year we go into contract negotiations I wonder how teacher’s salaries will survive this healthcare crisis and I ask my wife if we can just move to Canada, or Norway, or Japan, or Sweden, or UK, or Finland, or Australia, or New Zealand, or France, or Taiwan, or Germany, or…#HealthCareisaRight

I did some research. Pitch was 96mph. Ball approximately 145g. I think his bat is 33.5 in long and 31.5 oz(about 900g).

For any #Iteachphysics people wondering. I believe his bat is 33.5 inches long and 31.5 oz. Ball mass is about 145grams.

Your health care bill is about to explode.

The notices will start arriving next month.

A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000.

Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up.

We need to fix this. Now.

Was curious and keyed my AP 2 test with AI. It scored a 55%. It apparently doesn’t do well with arrows on PV graphs. #ITeachPhysics

That Red Bull Channel is full of great stuff.

There were definitely some issues connecting sometimes via Bluetooth that we ran into. Had to connect via USB, run a code, power cycle, then connect via Bluetooth again.

Sparkfun has some YouTube videos that are helpful.

Programmed XRP robots for the traditional tumble buggy lab practical. Students spent a day measuring positions and times for different “efforts” in the code. You can see their predictions marked on the meter stick for the collision point. #ITeachPhysics

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

I love Chicago. I went to uni and student taught in Chicago Public Schools. The way rural America views Chicago is absolutely insane. Fear of the unknown I guess. Divide and conquer playbook continues... #FDT

Competition is to keep egg safe while having the most hang time. 3*(payload time in air) + 10 points for egg safety is the scoring formula. Also have new 3D printers from a grant for nose cones/fins.

I’m using it as Intro to Thermo and Gas laws for AP2 + review of physics 1 terminology.

Started the year off in AP2 immediately with a 2 week engineering project. 1st time I’ve started the year with something like this. Seems to be generating excitement and positive vibes. #ITeachPhysics

I can’t work well in that environment either. I would say when I implement group optional, my proximity is to the ones who gravitate to groups to be social. Often helps regulate the noise issue at least.

Some of the time I allow group optional class work. Groups go to back lab tables. Individuals sit in desks or hall if too distracted. Overall, I find this to be accommodating to most. I encourage those in the front to cross talk if needed.

Something I try to think about when creating culture in my classroom. Do I want my classroom to “prepare” students for the shitshow that’s out there, or do I want to show them how work and learning can be designed to prioritize humanity? #ITeachPhysics #ITeachHumans
