Foreign web applications for physics – translation and use in Slovene language

Aljoša Kancler, Prva gimnazija Maribor

With the widespread use of tablet PCs more and more web applications are used in the teaching of physics. Students are proficient in search of new things, so the teacher can learn new width of use with their help. The applications for teaching physics in Slovenian language are scarce and what is more there are no e-books available for this subject in high-school, which makes modern teaching difficult. I search useful applications for teaching physics together with students. In doing so, we came to a discovery, in fact presented by students, which enables to use foreign web applications in Slovenian language. This allows students to facilitate understanding of simulated experiments. Of course, such a solution can also be used in a different way. Namely, more and more students from foreign countries (Russia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy) come to Prva gimnazija Maribor, whom the language barrier represents problems in understanding the curriculum. With this solution a foreign language speaking student can use the same e-materials in a language he or she understands best. I believe that the rest of the teachers are faced with similar problems mentioned above and can thus benefit from this presentation. They will have the opportunity to learn about it at the fair DajDam at SIRikt 2015 international conference.
