Physics Teaching Twitter Accounts 

You can sign up for a Twitter account and access it on your computer or download the Twitter app to your phone/tablet.   Then find @njaapt or @iteachphysics and “follow”, reading the tweets that are posted, while adding your own.

  • @njaapt – NJAAPT (New Jersey section of the American Association of Physics Teachers) has a Twitter account.  This can be a useful tool for Physics teachers to POST questions, SHARE ideas, and even vent, if needed.
  • @iteachphysics –Bi-weekly professional development Twitter chat for physics teachers moderated by @BlackPhysicists

Teaching Online – Physics-Specific Ideas/Information – from www.physport.org  (NOTE: Offers for a few of the “Free Resources” have expired.)

Teaching Online – General Ideas/Information

*General Science Teaching Resources (Grades 7-12)

  • Tools for Teaching Science – includes a list of websites and published resources for teachers striving to improve student learning that has been carefully curated by Perimeter Institute, the world’s largest research hub devoted to theoretical physics.  The not-for-profit Institute is a unique public-private endeavor, including the Governments of Ontario and Canada, that enables cutting-edge research, trains the next generation of scientific pioneers, and shares the power of physics through award-winning educational outreach and public engagement.  https://resources.perimeterinstitute.ca/products/tools-for-teaching-science?variant=32563928662094

Free Tools for Online Teaching (General)

Additional Tools (NO LONGER FREE, but may still be of interest – had offered free resources in Spring, 2020 due to school closures)
