Spotlight on Remote Learning with Data Activities

The "spotlight" last week focused on a collection of resources for teaching physics during this time of distance learning. This week, we highlight a few updates and additions, including some specific data activities that can be modified for distance learning.

Videoconference technology can be a very helpful tool when teaching online. QuarkNet has created several Zoom channels that may be used by any QuarkNet teacher and their students to connect virtually. Please feel free to use any of the channels below. They are first come, first served, so if you enter a channel that is already in use, please exit, then choose another channel. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many physics classrooms to go online. QuarkNet has collected resources to help teachers in this situation. We do not officially endorse these resources but rather make them available for teachers to evaluate themselves. We do add comments where appropriate.

We've added some "Hat Tips" (H/T) to folks who have contributed resources. This really is a QuarkNet-and-beyond team effort.

Physics teachers are turning to online tools and distance learning to reach their students as school buildings have closed, and we are all staying home as much as possible. QuarkNet responds:
