I have been thinking about how to effectively apply the techniques and methods I have learned in our PLS seminars to my teaching of science courses. It is not very straightforward for me because science teaching is not quite the same as humanities teaching. For me, most techniques or apps/tools we use to do text analysis cannot be organically incorporated into my science teaching.
I did some"out of the box" thinking and finally came up with a very good idea: Instead of using the text analysis and other tools which works better for humanities and less appropriate for sciences, especially physics/astronomy teaching, I am going to construct a pool of tools/apps for physics and astronomy teaching and post the links on my ePortfoio or Blackboard. These links will be open to all my students and colleagues, especially adjunct faculty members,who usually are not expected to devote as much time to pedagogy research as we full-time faculty are.
