Introduction

Hello there. I am now a blogger for the first time. Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Ben Yergler. I'm a student at Wheaton College pursuing a Master's in Teaching. I was fortunate to be placed at a great high school to do my student teaching in Chemistry and Honor's Chemistry: York Community High School in Elmhurst, IL. After only a few weeks interacting with the Science Department, I can already tell this is going to be a great setting. The partnership, excitement, and expertise among the staff is excellent. How can I make the most of this experience? Answer: this blog. I'm going to learn a lot this semester. I'll remember more of it if I write it down. The blog will allow me to embed files, videos, documents, and links so that I can easily save them forever and share them with whomever. I'll try and capture a little snippet each day of what I learned, what I tried, how I succeeded, and how I failed. So here it goes, my first blog...
