Christopher Moore is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Longwood University in Farmville, VA.I was looking up information about whether there is any pedegogical research that shows “clickers” are better than simple flash cards. I’m young, so when I first started teaching I was hip to all of the fancy technology. However, as I’ve progressed in my teaching, I’ve learned that anything you can do with technology can be done just as well without it. Apparently, I was right.
Anyway, I stumbled onto Teaching Astronomy, and Paul Robinson has a great article about Ben Stein’s new movie Expelled. I’ve written on this topic before, but from a slightly different perspective.
