Monash University and 'Flipped' teaching
Keep an eye on Monash University; their Physics department has built new teaching spaces which depart from traditional '3 lectures and a tute'. Theo Hughes is the man on the ground there, a most talented lad.
ACSME Discipline day 2014- ideas for topics?
I haven't finished summarising the notes from the 2013 ACSME discipline day (which is evil- the guilt is intense), but it's time to start planining the next one. All ideas and suggestions gratefully received. Oh, and if anyone is wlling to help wrap up last years one......*cheeky grin*.
ASELL in schools and FARLabs join forces
Manju Sharma, Alex Yeung and Kieran Lim came to the La Trobe Physics department to host a joint ASELL/FARLabs workshop for about 15 high school students and 15 teachers. It was a great success- and a nice example of how a new, well-funded project (FARLabs) can help an established, not-so-well-funded-at-the-moment-despite-being-awesome project (ASELL).
PHYWE Systeme GmbH & Co. KG looking for partners in Australia
PHYWE Systeme approached the AIP suggesting
Anyone have any thoughts? You can see my (cautious) reply below.
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Vanessa Eberle from PHYWE Systeme GmbH & Co. KG in Göttingen,
Germany.
Representing PHYWE Systeme, a well-known international supplier in the
fields of science and engineering, we focus exclusively on tools and services
to promote and enhance scientific education from primary schools up to
University level. Our systems range from simple, easy to operate equipment
intended for student use up to coverage of highly developed and specialized
university equipment demands. We provide teaching and learning systems for
students as well as teacher demonstration experiments, which allow them to
get involved and experience the fundamental issues of science and modern
technology.
Over a period of about 100 years, we have concentrated our efforts on
providing the best possible didactically optimized methods and tools to
educate students. Basic scientific education in Physics, Biology and
Chemistry has demonstrated to be the best possible foundation for applied
science and applied science Medical, in any field. This has allowed great and
long lasting advances in economic development at the social and even country
level.
Our products are made in Germany and are used throughout the world in the
fields of education and science.
The reason why we now contact you is, that PHYWE would like to expand their
business in the Australian market. After studying your website, we think you
might help us to realize our plans in Australia with information regarding
the Australian market, in form of a cooperation between the Australian
Institute of Physics & PHYWE.
If we have aroused your interest kindly take a look at our website for more
information www.phywe-systeme.com and please kindly contact us directly under

Dear David,
I thank you so much for giving me the
contact of Doug Bail, I am sure this will help us a lot.
Also the post at the AIP PEG Blog would
be great, as this also would help to draw the attention of university educators
and lab co-ordinators.
Is there any link where I could follow
up the post at the Blog?
I again would like to thank you very
much for all your help!
Have a nice day!
Best regards.
Vanessa

With your permission, I’ll post this on the AIP PEG blog, and that
should draw the attention of university educators and lab co-ordinators.
Doug Bail is a trusted distributer we get much of our equipment
from: I have cc’d him above. His company is http://www.ciderhouse.com.au/

Dear David,
I thank you very much for your fast
reply!
I can totally understand that you
usually do not endorse products or services, but it would be very much
appreciated if you could help us with any contacts in Australia.
We are convinced that our products,
especially the ones for Physics education (compliant to international curricula
and Cambridge Curriculum) could be of interest for the Australian Universities
and Schools or Science Centres, as we have 2 Australian Universities already
buying our Physics Equipment.
However, we would like to expand our
business and we already tried a lot from here, but unfortunately, we were not
very successful as we do not find the right contacts.
On the one hand, it is very difficult to
find the right persons to talk to at the Universities or schools, further,
which persons could be the right ones to talk to at the Ministries?
We are trying to get a foot inside, but
how can we do that if only a few of the customers know our company or our
products?
PHYWE is also looking for a Sales
Partner in Australia, but also in this case, we have not been successful.
Dear David, it would help us a lot if
you would have any good contacts to whom we could talk to against our products
and solutions or any company that maybe could be interested in a collaboration
as a Sales Partner for PHYWE in Australia.
If you have any good idea of how we
could go forward into the Australian market, please let me know.
I thank you very much in advance for all
your efforts, David.
Best regards.
Vanessa

Vanessa,
Thanks for your interest. The AIP
does not usually endorse products or services; but we are always keen to be
aware of developments in Physics Education.
What do you have in mind?
Cheers,
David.
