To deepen the professional practice of physics educators, we seek to highlight the Open Source Physics (OSP) and Easy Java Simulation (Ejs) community of educators that engage, enable and empower teachers as learners so that we can be leaders in our teaching practice. We learnt through Web 2 online collaborative means to develop simulations together with reputable physicists through the open source digital library. By examining the open source codes of the simulation through the Ejs toolkit, we are able to examine and make sense of the physics from the computational models created by practicing physicists. We will share some of the simulations that we have remixed from existing library of simulations models into suitable learning environments for inquiry of physics. http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?board=28.0

Physics Educators as Designers of Simulation using Easy Java Simulation
What is Ejs?
Easy Java Simulations is a software tool (java code generator) designed for the creation of discrete computer simulations.

How can you use Ejs? Teachers create virtual
laboratory simulations can deepen professional practice through informal learning Teacher learning community
students can conduct inquiry learning of science ( embedding
meaningful ICT experiences, redesign curriculum for school ) students create their own simulations, thus engaging in ‘learning-by-
making’
