  2. Internet Publishing: Six Good Ideas Why Publish on the Internet? There are many cruising the Internet for physics information – Yes, that’s right! What’s in a hit or visit? Course Information and Resources Student portfolios Web service projects

  3. Why Publish on the Internet? • Information when people need it. Findable through Google • Quick and easy for author – just save in html format in Word etc. • Easy for the student to copy, to get great diagrams, view mpg’s, etc. “It’s in their hands” • Eager students can get additional Info • It can help [reach] many people

  4. 2. There are many people cruising the Internet for physics information • Slinky started it all. It received 3 times the e-mail that my home page received. • Mine 24000 in 8 years about 8 per day. • Slinky 105,000 in 6 years or 50 per day.

  5. The Audience was seen in the response to my Physics .mpg site On line for three month and already Visited by many countries: Belgium, Brazil, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Slovenia,20 countries in all!! In the years 12 articles in Physics Teacher 2 over seas responses Some Great Universities come to call.

  6. 3. The Audience: What’s in a hit? • Actual visits may be 2 or 3 times higher due to caching by large sites like Google. • The beauty of Sitemeter: • It’s free • Tells you where the hits come from • You get graph of all kinds. • Why do some hits show 0 time spent? The back button or a link back!

  7. Sitemeter • Gives you date, time, page views? • URLs, country, etc. • Physics Movies in 3 months has been visited by 30 different countries. • Daddy pays a visit. A visit from Cern where the internet started

  8. People can find your site - Google Results for people in CPS • Physics of dance + Laws • 1. THE PHYSICS OF DANCE, presented by Ken LawsTHE PHYSICS OF DANCE, presented by Ken Laws The Pas de Deux • Physics of Toys: Physics Toys + cps: 1. Donald Simanek's physics and other sciencesPhysicsToys, Tricks and Teasers. ... The Physics Teacher. CPS-AAPT. 164,000 hits • CPS-AAPT1. ... Some ongoing support activities within the CPS-AAPT region. • Physics Movies: 6. PhysicsMovies [MPG's]A collection of physicsmovies and video clips for the physics teacher. Physics and Faith: • 5. Science and Faith Home Page... and Faith: is it Possible for a Scientist to Believe? • Physics Teachers Index: 2. The PhysicsTeacher'sIndex... of PhysicsTeachers [AAPT] American Institute of Physics [AIP] American Physical

  9. Other Things to Publish • Course Information and Resources - provide students with assignments and write ups for class • Web Service projects – develop a vision of service for students • Portfolios – get the whole picture, integrate college experience, look beyond college

  10. Course Information • All course information is present on the web • The assignments are available • Extra Course Resources available
