Using an arsenal of tools, including Socrative, ALEKS, Lecture Tools, Khan Academy, Penultimate, Camtasia Relay, Twitter, TEDTalks, podcasting, tablet computers, and more, students are taking advantage of emerging technologies to take ownership of their learning in Preparatory Chemistry 101.  In addition to cyber-learning, the course features �Vile Vial Vile Chemistry,� in-class minilabs to reinforce concepts.  In this session, we'll showcase how leveraging these resources can maximize the potential of students in and out of the classroom. The goal for each student is a journey that is not always the same pathway to mastery of chemistry.  Student learning assessment results will be presented.  Additionally, we discuss the retaining of underprepared science majors in the general chemistry sequence.
