The Physics Teaching Web Advisory (Pathway) continues to expand its efforts to address pedagogical issues of many physics teachers via the Web. Pathway’s “Synthetic Interviews” engage inexperienced teachers in a natural language dialog about effective teaching of physics. These virtual conversations are now coupled to related graphical materials as well as the National Science Education Standards and comPADRE. Thus, pre-service and out-of-field in-service teachers can obtain the advice of experienced teachers and quick connections to other related material. The database is a growing digital library and now contains about 7,000 different recorded answers and over 10,000 question/answer pairs. Additional video material, including films from the old AAPT Film Repository, provides addition videos for classroom use. Pathway is available at http://www.physicspathway.org
Supported by the National Science Foundation under Grants 0455772 & 0455813.
