We believe that physics teaching is a wonderful thing, but are aware not everyone agrees. In the UK more and more non-specialists are getting the opportunity (welcome or otherwise) to shine a light on people's misconceptions about the world around them. We started this podcast to provide useful information about how some of the best physics teachers we know teach the subject.

Thomas and Callum come up with some super ideas to help students on how to tackle exam questions along with some some creative admin time savers to clear out time absorbing tasks and create some much welcome space for time on the things that really matter to a teacher ..read more

Robin and Rosie are joined by former physics teacher Thomas to talk tech… After making the case for peer tutoring (low-cost, high impact according to the EEF), we turn our attention to EdTech for the 3rd time.
Dr David Boyce returns for the last in our series of chats about seismic technological shifts driven by EdTech. I hope you have checked the two previous episodes on 3d-printing and AI. Today, David makes the case for graphic tablets as an alternative to blackboards, whiteboards and smartboards. This has real resonance with the team – and hopefully will give you another option to consider ..read more
