AI Thread Summary
A new science teacher specializing in physics proposed creating a dedicated forum channel for physics educators to share effective teaching methods and practical demonstrations. Another participant pointed out that such a forum already exists on the Physics Forums website. The discussion highlights the need for collaborative spaces among physics teachers to enhance pedagogical practices. The existing forum may serve the intended purpose, but further promotion could increase its visibility and usage. Engaging in these discussions can significantly benefit physics educators seeking to improve their teaching strategies.

We already have one!

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
