[Phys-l] Trying to help get across physics concepts with new blog



Hi all-

Am new to Phys-l Digest. Thought this would be a great place to run new ideas up the flagpole. I'm the Center Director for the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education. For quite a while I wanted to create a place where what I've learned about teaching physics, particularly principals used in astronomy and space science, might be available to a larger public. FINALLY I created Blog on the Universe May 2009. But I'm not sure if it's useful, or at the right level. If anyone can take a look and tell me what you think, that would be REALLY helpful. It's hard to gauge a blog without some feedback.
Here's the URL, and read "About this Blog"
http://blogontheuniverse.org

Any help would be WONDERFUL!!

Jeff
