So things got interesting these past few weeks.... I've decided that my next steps will be to flip the classroom.

I have, over the years, encountered serious backlog over the lack of time to properly review and take up problem-solving questions in class.  This has mainly been hampered by the insane amount of curriculum that is expected to be covered at the gr. 12 chemistry level.  

How is this related to Hangouts...?

As part of my Assignment in my ICT class, I had to present Google Hangouts on Air. I've noticed some of my more savvy colleagues have begun to create instructional videos in place of the traditional notes and verbal instructions.  

I thought, why not me?  

And so I made my first instructional Video on Google Hangouts... and 

I WAS HOOKED!

I see so much potential with this technology.  Even if I start with just creating short videos outlining the curriculum, I could use classroom time to do actual problems in class and help kids where they need it most; in the practice and problem-solving portion!

Enjoy my Hangouts video :)  Next Project:  Flipping the SCH4U classroom!
