parents

Not only are they walking into a class that integrates technology and distance collaborations, but my class is probably the most non-traditional PBL classes in a very traditional school system so hearing everything at once sometimes freaks them out. In an attempt to let them know I will not be damaging their kids I was considering starting the meeting with this video that includes comments from last years kids. What do you think? Good/bad idea? Too conceited? This is a total rough draft so any input is appreciated. Really. I am still far from finished with the end. If you think it is icky I want to know. Don't know if I made it for them, or for me because I fell guilty about just not being able to meet the needs of a few kids last year.
