Some very nice professors at The University of Michigan have invited me to be among nine lead presenters at their 4T Virtual Conference this May. They are actually going to give me 14 hours of training in how to webinar; how awesome is that! You won't want to miss this webinar, baby!

In the next 24 hours, you will be able to see me in three different places:
Yep, it’s going to be an exciting 24 hours.
For those of you who are taking or who have taken AP Physics C or it’s college equivalent, I am curious if your observation about the relationship between Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism is the same as mine. I have always felt that E&M is more difficult than Mechanics. For example, that the electric flux is the measure of the number of imaginary electric field lines that are passing through an imaginary gaussian surface is much more difficult to understand than the fact that the object is rolling without slipping, right? So here is what I think is a useful comparison. After filming, I had 8.5 hours of raw video to edit for Mechanics and 12 hours of video for E&M. I know it’s a difficult thing to quantify, however, does that seem right that E&M is roughly 40% more difficult than Mechanics? [(12 - 8.5)/8.5 x 100 ≈ 40%] I’d be interested to know if people agree with that observation. And kudos to you if you actually read this far into my post, that’s real commitment. :)
I have been invited to be involved in the taping of a Detroit Public Television program called "American Graduate". It will be moderated by Christy McDonald and is going to be in a Community Town Hall format. There will be no panel, instead it will be a conversation between the moderator and the audience. I'm not really sure what my role will be other than as an audience expert on Flipping in Education. Wish me luck tonight!
This FaceBook Message made me really happy and I had to share. Thanks, John Clark, for your kind words and for letting me post this:
"Mr P, thank you SO MUCH for everything you've done with Flipping Physics. You make learning physics even more enjoyable and you're an awesome instructor! I'm 42 years old and had a heart attack on 10/11/12. The paramedics defibbed me 3 times to revive me. I've always had a fascination with the sciences (physics in particular) so I made up my mind to go back to school. I'm in Phy 201 this semester (Chm 111, Precalc II and an Ethics class-- I also work full-time) and I've gotten more out of your videos and way of teaching than I have from my book (and quite honestly, it's the best resource for me I've found on the web...even better than Khan Academy). We're utilizing a flipped class in Physics so I can't begin to tell you how helpful you've been. THANK YOU - John Clark"

Yep, I make physics videos in the hope that you can learn physics. If you are a physics teacher, I am very hopeful that you will want to use them to help flip your physics class. Archives
