What a great video clip - it is so good we already used it in a presentation at Michigan summer institute (with credit give of course) We do seem sorely behind as teachers trying to keep up with curriculum demands as well as technology demands. Such is the nature of the beast. If we were in the "business" world we would be expected to do the same or most likely lose a job.
After completing the blended learning class a few months ago I feel I am ready to go - to try to start incorporating it into my classroom not as "another thing to do" but instead as a way to more efficiently connect with my students and their parents. I keep reminding myself that even small steps has the potential to have immediate benefits for my students and that most likely they will be my best teachers for what works and what doesn't, for what is useful and what is not useful, what they like and what they hate.
I am hoping that by taking this class with a colleague we will be able to be a support system for each other, learning together, trying the different skills in very different classroom and brainstorming together for new and unique ways to bring "richness" to our lessons.

Welcome to you and your learning partner - what a great way to take the course. Your approach to using technology "as a way to more efficiently connect with my students and their parents" is exactly the way we hope this course will help you grow. Looking forward to hearing how you will use these tools for HS Chemistry.
