Chris Oban Tutorial on Coding in Classroom B. TBA Break 2:10 - 3:00 Business + How I do it... ** Un-Conference: It has been noted that simply having time to share ideas with colleagues is valuable but that often we don't have enough time to do this as we are too busy. To that end an Un-Conference allows participants to suggest/sign up for discussion/sharing topics of interest. Topics of high interest are then assigned rooms and during the Un-Conference time period the participants meet in the room of interest and brainstorm, share, and learn from other members in the group. Future Conference topics may result from these sessions or the Un-Conference session itself may be the final result. Some examples of Un-Conference topics: promoting physics in schools/universities; approaches to teaching rotational motion in the AP classroom; project based learning in physics; your idea goes here... |
