Today I was fortunate enough to present video conference to large bunch of Year 12 Physics students from across Sydney. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, getting back into my Physics, the preparation, collaboration with colleagues and finally the delivery and discourse that ensued.
This was part of the 'HSC Masterclass: One More Mark' initiative being run to help lift our students from high Band 5 into Band 6 in the NSW Board of Studies Higher School Certificate examinations.
Here is the presentation. Please copy, re-edit, comment and critique to your heart's content.
Many thanks to my colleagues at work for organising and the various tips offered by fellow Physics teachers. Also a big thanks to Helen Fergusson and Derek Muller for their contributions. Recommended resources include:

- Veritasium YouTube Channel
- MinutePhysics YouTube Channel
- PhET

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL YEAR PHYSICS TEACHERS AND STUDENTS!
Video Conferencing Technology plays a crucial role in the transformation of society. Communities are integrating these tools of technologies for their own development processes. Education sector being one of the cornerstones of society’s development needs to use these tools to enhance the experience of Teaching / Learning.
