btp is a teacher now

enter them in a grand battle

Hmmm...I'm not sure I can force my students to fight to the death in an alternate dimension...however I may be able to introduce GB themes subtly in my lessons/review questions. I will keep you updated.

Also I was provided with a swivel chair...

Now, this is regular physics, some kids at this point haven't even passed algebra - though some are currently taking calculus...its a very mixed level classroom. So far my goal has been to prepare them in such a way that they will do well on the exams, but that is mainly because I've been struggling to keep my head above water. It is difficult to innovate or inspire when you're not sure what you'll even do tomorrow.

Of course my hope is to get past that point, and really engage students in the material. I like the idea of having the students work to derive the new material themselves. These last few days have mainly been me throwing equations at them...also hacky balls.

Also we're currently in 1 dimensional analysis right now. Aka, displacement, velocity, acceleration and the like.
