Elizabeth, Check out the project that I worked on with some 8th graders and their teachers. We used a ning as a social networking tool for our 8th graders to learn online safety, copyright informtion and how to write in character with the book…
Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!
That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.
Do you mind telling students and your colleagues again?
Happy New Year! I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from Maine!
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
I am so glad that you like it. I saw the pink or fuchsia and knew you would like the color and that your boys wouldnt try to take it. I hope that your power gets restored up there. What a mess. We have a second small house right next door, so if wanted to take a ride to PA and warm up... you and your family are more than welcome!! :) Hope that you have a wonderful Christmas! I am looking forward to continued collaboration as well. Hey I will be doing a full day conf. for PETE&C Feb. 8th. I am hoping to stream it. You are more than welcome to drop in virtualluy. Hope you get your heat turned back on. We are just getting some ice today. Take care!
