New ToPIX Content: 9/20/12


This week we had a new page added to the In the Classroom section. 


New ToPIX Content

Stephen Wurst emailed a content suggestion, and I was excited to add a new page on ToPIX to accommodate future updates. What's more-- Stephen has made a number of his Psych Jeopardy games available to instructors. Check them out here on the Games in the Classroom page. If you find yourself inspired to create your own Flash-based Jeopardy boards for class, a link to do so is also included.  


Thanks Stephen!

ToPIX continues to grow thanks to our recent contributors. You are welcome to update the wiki yourself or simply shoot me an email and I will post for you: (TOPIX@TeachPsych.org).

New ToPIX Content: 9/13/12


This week we had an update to the Student and Instructor-Created Songs page.

New ToPIX Content
One of the newer pages to ToPIX is the Student and Instructor-Created Songs page. It serves as a nice complement to the Song List and covers a variety of domains within psychology. At present, the page includes songs about the history of psychology, neuroscience, learning, memory, social psychology, psychological disorders, and therapy.

Jason Prenoveau sent along a two-part video of his students performing their rendition of research methods & statistics concepts over Matchbox 20's 1996 song "3 a.m." 


Thanks Jason!


We are always on the lookout for more Student and Instructor-Created Songs as well as other helpful resources to share on ToPIX. You are welcome to update the wiki yourself or simply shoot me an email and I will post for you: (TOPIX@TeachPsych.org).

New ToPIX Content: 9/6/12


This week we had an update to the Memory Video page.

New ToPIX Content

Stephen Chew’s How to Get the Most out of Studying videos have “gone viral” on YouTube with over 184,000 views for the first video of the series.

Stephen was so kind to make his Think-Pair-Share questions for each study video available to all on ToPIX. If you are familiar with the video series already, you might want to go straight to the questions here on ToPIX. 

If you would like to check out the video series first, please visit the Memory video page here. Find out more about the development of the videos here.

Thanks Stephen!

As always—if you have found ToPIX useful, please consider contributing!  You are welcome to update the wiki yourself or simply shoot me an email: (TOPIX@TeachPsych.org). Thanks to all those who contributed over the summer.
