The Physics Applets for Drawing (PADs) are a suite of Java Applets that allow graphical responses to questions, with automatic grading and optional feedback. They can be used in class and within web-based homework. I have used them in my classroom for several years to reinforcing laboratory graph skills in, practice free body diagrams and energy bar charts, and practicing steps of a problem-solving strategy. PADs exercises are now more easily found and used in the classroom. Direct links to particular exercises can be found from the PADs website and from searches on comPADRE. WebAssign now offers a collection of PADs exercises as an additional resource (appearing as a supplemental textbook). Finally, we will soon have a Blackboard Building Block (plug-in) available that will support use of PADs. More information can be found at http://www.wku.edu/pads. This work was supported by NSF CCLI grant DUE-0231353.
