II. The Collaboration--Exploring all paths
!
-
the players and their interests
-
biology professor
-
use the internet for effective teaching and learning
-
broadly interested in the intellectual implications of physics, especially
indeterminism and its role in biological systems
-
benefits of co-opting ideas from different disciplines
-
high school senior
-
use advanced mathematical skills
-
think about physical interpretations--where do models of facts end and
interpretation begin? What is a theory?
-
physics professor
-
deepen my own understanding of physics
-
build tools to benefit physics education--exploratory and interactive
-
make physics relevant to a broader audience
-
shared goals
-
to further science education in ways that are unique to the internet--to
potentially reach many people with a hands-on tool to learn something about
quantum mechanics
-
to illustrate different ways to make sense of the same observations, in
this case, finding brand new ways to think
-
to make connections to address universal questions with people from different
life experiences
-
key factors for success
-
the potential to learn something new
-
a product no one member of the team could have achieved alone
-
the patience to find explanations which made sense to all participants
-
the flexibility to find common ground among different perspectives
-
manage the relationships by building in opportunities for both free-ranging
conversations and focused work
