Using Tracker Online, Web EJS, and ComPADRE

written by Wolfgang Christian and Aaron Titus

In this hands-on tutorial, teachers interested in using computation to teach physics will explore the Easy JavaScript Simulations (EJS) modeling and authoring tools. Unlike desktop Tracker and EJS, Web EJS and Tracker Online are written in JavaScript, run in a browser, and do not require any software installation. Participants should bring a laptop computer. All materials are browser-based and will be accessed from AAPT-ComPADRE.
