Sugar: a new teaching tool?

Recently I stumbled across a nice way to make funny videos. I immediately "created" one such video and wonder whether I could not use this regularly to provide some teaching content. LET ME KNOW, and maybe you could create some of your own
Here is my first (not quite polished) creation - and I would like you to tell me whether there is anything offensive in this video (as my daughter claimed there is): click on this link!

Welcome!

I started this course blog idea in the last term: Students used it and seemed to like it - but they did not really participate (via comments or blog suggestions or provision of images or other media files, or by asking questions). Hopefully this class will be more active and dynamic! I added a gadget feature that sends you emails about new entries (I believe). To attract you to the blog, I will use a dirty tool: I will insert some exam type questions from time to time! If that does not work, then  I don't know!
If you have some special ideas on how to enhance our communication and provide interesting, educational and entertaining content, talk to me and write comments - the more the better. I know of course that you are all busy with other lectures...but maybe this blog will provide for some relieve and un-stress you a bit. Welcome again, Handsbare (submitted from Burnaby/Vancouver BC).
