If you are using VPython in the teaching of physics or astronomy, at any
level, *please* consider presenting a poster at the joint meeting of
AAPT (American Association of Physics Teachers) and AAS (American
Astronomical Society), in Seattle, WA, January 6-10, 2007. We are
experimenting with a new format for a poster session, which will include
live demos. Presentations on how you have modified, extended, or
customized instructional applications of VPython at your institution, as
well as on new approaches or applications, are very welcome. This will
be an opportunity to exchange ideas with others who are using VPython in
their teaching. Here is the call for papers for this session:
*Physics Education with Vpython*
Demonstrate your application of VPython in teaching physics or
astronomy, with a poster and live demo. Bring a laptop; power outlets
will be provided. Explain how you integrate 3D lecture demos, student
programs, visualization tools, or other VPython applications into your
instruction. This poster/demo session is intended to allow extended
interaction and discussion.
To submit an abstract, or to see more about the meeting, go to:
http://www.aapt.org/Events/call4papers.cfm
Abstracts are due by September 7, 2006.
I'd be happy to try to answer any questions you may have about this session.
