Implementation ideas
- PGP=Pretty Good Physics
- e-Lab applications math related-use in math or interdisciplinary work
- summer sci/math boot camp for tchrs
- use animation feature to show how accuracy/precision of dataset increases with stats
- independent study for interested students
- insert into cons of energy, momentum; e&m - colliders give us close to p=0
- chem-radioactive decay
- particle physics as bridge between chem and physics
- PET, med physics connection with biology
- Use student groups
- 2 students works
- after AP or IB exam
- cosmic ray e-Lab - make connections
- user group at /group/cms-e-lab-users
- meetings work better than updates
- presentations in class
- students come to University for a "regional particle physics summit"
- videoconferences
- grad students come to evening student meeting - each present research - not formal
- FAQs or suggestins for research projects
Barriers
- Would have to reserve media center - slow (beeter now with iPads)
- Assessment
- Labels not intuitive on plots
