  1. Thanks for your comments on my blog! I too am excited about your topic! Math and Science are the two subjects we struggle most with at our school. I look forward to following your research to find ways to improve our learning in the classroom. Best of luck to you!

  2. I am interested in knowing if your videos will be available for your students to watch at home on the web or if this is just a school addition.

  3. I like the idea of creating a class website to share with parents and students. I also have another idea that you might like. My son is required to do a certain amount of assignments online by the end of each six-weeks. The website is called STUDY ISLAND. I think it could definitely motivate students to complete homework assignments. The teacher gives them a certain amount of assignments required, but if students like they can complete more. My son really enjoys the process.
