Title: Physics Educators as Designers of Simulation using Easy Java Simulation ( Ejs ) http://physicsipsg.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/concurrent-2.pdf

Hands-On / Experiments
Seminar Presentation (30 min)

Motivation:
As part of the third Masterplan for ICT in Education vision “Harnessing ICT, Transforming Learners” and align with Teacher Leadership in Professional Development, this session aims to demonstrate how the Open Source Physics community engage, enable and empower teachers to be learners so that we can be leaders in our teaching practice.

Background:
Easy Java Simulations is a software tool (java code generator) designed for the creation of discrete scientific computer simulations. It can be used by ordinary mortals to create professional simulations. Download it from http://www.compadre.org/OSP/items/detail.cfm?ID=7305 license under GNU General Public License Version 3. GNU GPL

Approach:
I learned through Web 2 online collaborative means to develop simulations together with reputable physicists through the open source digital library. By examining the open source codes of the simulation through the Ejs toolkit, I was able to examine and make sense of the physics from the computational models created by practicing physicists. I will share some of the simulations that I have remixed from existing library of simulations models into suitable learning environments for inquiry of physics.

Future Direction:
For informal community of practice of physics teachers, go to Edumall - ICT Connection Learning Teams - Science - Physics and learn together, advancing the professionalism of educators in Singapore.

Background: What is Ejs?
Easy Java Simulations is a software tool (java code generator) designed for the creation of discrete computer simulations.
Approach: Self Direct + Collaborate
I learned through Web 2 online collaborative means to develop simulations together with reputable physicists through the open source digital library. By examining the open source codes of the simulation through the Ejs toolkit, I was able to examine and make sense of the physics from the computational models created by practicing physicists.
How can you use Ejs?
Teachers create virtual laboratory simulations can deepen professional practice through informal learning
Global Teacher learning community
‘learning-by-making’

students can conduct inquiry learning of science ( embedding meaningful ICT experiences, redesign curriculum for school )
