Apps on Physics: Resources
Apps on Physics are simulations that help us to understand basic topics in Physics. These Apps are freely downloadable and easy to use browser based apps. Using these apps topics chosen are in chronological order. The Apps are available in java script and html formats. We are using html format to create this series. It is intended for teaching and learning Physics from secondary school to higher secondary. It is freely available for download at http://www.walter-fendt.de. The apps were originally created in German. They are translated to English and other languages. For this series we are using the apps that were translated to English. https://www.walter-fendt.de/html5/phen/ These Apps are created by Walter-fendt and his team. All the videos will be released under CC-BY-NC-SA license.

Freeplane : Resources
Freeplane is a mind mapping or concept mapping software. Concept mapping or Mind mapping was developed for learning purposes. In a concept map, the ideas or concept is presented visually in a connected fashion with fewer words. The visual representation helps to bring about better understanding and learning.
Learning resources such as notes, text, image, web page hyperlink, audio or video can be attached to nodes. Icons and formatting can make the nodes visually stand out in a map. Teachers can use it to teach and students can use it for structured learning. Freeplane is open source and is actively developed. The official website of Freeplane is at https://www.freeplane.org/ .
