Today is the 1-year anniversary of this blog and I get the feeling it has been rather successful. I’m currently getting roughly 7,000 page views a month. I never would have expected 78,000 page views to a physics teaching blog in a single year. I guess I’m not the only one that needs help figuring out what to do each week.
Best of all, I’ve made some new friends around the world. That’s just too cool.
Thanks for all the support and comments. Live long and prosper.

I started this little blog to help remember the stuff I do in class. I can’t believe that 2/3 of a year later and only half way through the school year, I’ve had 50,000 page views. Thanks for stopping by, I hope I was able to make your job a little easier.

When I started this blog, I figured a few people might get something out of it. It’s now just three months and I’ve had over 11,000 page views. One day last week the blog had over 500 hits – it blows my mind.
Thanks to everyone that wrote me to say you found my work here useful. I’m happy to carry on email conversations with anyone who can use a hand or has something to share. I’m never afraid to ask for help and I’m just as happy to give it. I appreciate the recommended web sites and other additions from the other teachers out there. Keep those ideas and comments coming.
School starts tomorrow and right now I’m stressing over teaching Physical Science to seniors. There is no existing curriculum, it’s going to be so much work starting from scratch. But I’m going to keep adding new ideas as I come up with them throughout the school year.
Thanks for stopping by,

I’m just getting started, there is so much to add to the site. I really need to rethink the categories and tags and go back and then update all the posts. I want to thank those of you that wrote me, I really appreciate the kind words. The amount of traffic tells me this is a useful site for other science teachers. It’s two months, I’ve had over 4400 pages views, and that’s without a single nude image.
I’m still in need of collaborators. There is so much I don’t know and so many clever and creative ways to teach Physics and Physical Science. But even if you don’t post or author anything, feel free to use and modify anything you find here.
Here’s my prediction – 8000 page views by Sept 1, the three month birthday. Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, that’s all I can say, just wow! The blog has been alive for one month and I’ve had over 1800 visitors. It’s the summer people, get a tan. No really, I’m thrilled at the exposure. I’ve been putting my stuff down as it comes to me, sometimes several posts a day, then a week with nothing. This will pick up significantly in the fall as I figure out what classes I’m teaching.
Now for the bad new. Nobody’s helping me!!! I expected all you educators out there to throw some great ideas my way. I am not the only physics teacher that does hands-on activities. So throw me a bone people. I’m not asking for cash or gift cards, just your ideas.
