Welcome to my (hopefully to be renamed) blog - Mr. Vanderwoude's Blog. In in the coming weeks I'm looking forward to exploring how technology can be incorporated into the math and physics classroom to enhance the learning experience while retaining the benefits of directness and simplicity that is seen in a more traditional approach. In particular, I hope to learn how technology can be used to incorporate in my lessons the aesthetic and philosophical beauty of mathematics and science that I miss in the more utilitarian philosophy that has become so prevalent. My belief in an aesthetic/historical/philosophical approach to science education stems partially from C.S Lewis's educational philosophy outlined in "The Abolition of Man". I'm also interested in "Classical Education" and other forms of alternative education.
