DMAPT blog experiment

In the spirit of friendly collaboration, Gary Abud Jr. and I thought it would be a great idea to create a blog for DMAPT-relevant topics. Eventually we will be able to organize our posts, comments and discussions into useful threads for DMAPT members and anyone else who might benefit from our years of experience in physics education.

I am sure there will be kinks to work out with this, but for now I will try set this blog up so anyone with the blog link (URL) can contribute. If you do not have a Google account, go here and sign up for one. You can also sign up for Blogger here. Signing up for Google and Blogger should not be necessary to leave comments on the blog, for now, but you will need to if you want to create new post for new topics. If you are signed up for both and you want to be added as a collaborator on the blog, let me know.

We could start this blog off with posts on basic units or topics where DMAPT members can add links, images, labs, demonstrations, videos, news, and other tools or ideas for the physics classroom. We could also get some good conversations going on important topics like the implementation of the NGSS and changes to AP Physics B. This will allow our great meeting conversations to continue between meetings! 

If you have any ideas for what this could/should become then comment on this post and let's get this blog rolling. Wait . . . anyone know the moment of inertia of a baby blog?
