        Watching this video it made start thinking about the chemistry class that I took my sophomore year of high school and it was not even anything remotely close to what was happening in the video.  We just sat there while the teacher lectured and you either took notes or you didn't.  Then if it was a day that we got to do a lab then she told us what we were doing and we did the experiment as a class step by step.  Things have and are definitely changing.
        The idea of having the students teach the concepts to the class is an innovative and compelling thought.  I think this is one way to help students learn the material better instead of just brow beating it into them.  I also believe that using the technology in the classroom is another important factor in helping to keep the kids engaged in what they are studying.  Also they are doing so much more than just learning one subject by doing this type of project which is helping prepare them for later in life.
