Teaching Astronomy: A New Blog
Some damn fool (me) has decided to start a blog that focuses on astronomy education research:
Teaching Astronomy Blog
I looked around and could not find another blog that discussed astronomy and physics education in way that I would like to see it. Most astronomy blogs (even ones that claim to be about education) are mainly current events and pictures. So I thought I might take a stab at it.
The blog will also give me the chance to cull together the resources that I have been collecting, and the resources/activities that I have been developing. I'm hoping that the blog can get enough visibility that people will use it.
I already have constructed what I think is a pretty good links sidebar, with a lot of good web resources.
Check out the new blog and tell your teacher friends to visit it :-)
For you LJ'ers, I made a syndication of the blog: teachingastro
Oh, and I'm not abandoning LJ. I just found Blogger to be more friendly for designing a public blog.
