Two international students will spend the summer coding for our open source projects. Through Google Summer of Code (GSoC), they’ll earn stipends from Google, plus get a coveted GSoC t-shirt and certificate. Concord Consortium developers will provide mentorship.
Make heat flow and temperature change visible to your students with Charles Xie’s new article in the April issue of The Physics Teacher. Heat transfer is widely taught, but there are many misconceptions around heat and temperature. Explore new interactive computer simulations that may help dispel misconceptions.
Are you an engineering or electronics teacher? If so, we want you—and your students! Students can practice their skills measuring and troubleshooting virtual circuits. Teachers get detailed reports on student performance. Want to light a fire under your students’ electronics learning? Try SPARKS!
Try a series of position-time and velocity-time SmartGraphs, and get “smart” hints and feedback as you learn about motion, acceleration due to gravity, and more.
Chad Dorsey will present the Concord Consortium’s vision of a Deeply Digital Education with a featured presentation on Wednesday, January 18, at 3:45 p.m.
The Concord Consortium has received a $2.5 million grant from Google.org to pave the way for digital curricula that model the “textbook of tomorrow.”
Harvard Education Press has just published a new book, New Frontiers in Formative Assessment, featuring chapters by Dan Damelin, Kimberle Koile, and Paul Horwitz.
The book is edited by Concord Consortium board member Pendred Noyce and her colleague Daniel Hickey.
The Fall 2011 @Concord is now available for download.
In 1981, Bob Tinker designed the first microcomputer-based real-time temperature data grapher for education. And an industry was born. We continue to research and develop probeware and its educational applications.
Carolyn Staudt presents Concord Consortium’s science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) projects at the 2011 Massachusetts STEM Summit, “Advancing the STEM Agenda Locally & Nationally,” on October 18 at the Boston Marriott in Newton.
