Our school district uses SchoolCenter as our Content Management System (CMS). I'd like to invite you to share your ideas on how you use SchoolCenter with other Classroom 2.0 users.
For example:
New Design Themes
A lot of you have used the new design themes from SchoolCenter on your web sites. They really make it look bright and up-to-date. Please contact me if you would like me to walk you thru the process for adding a theme. SchoolCenter has promised to add… Continue

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 passing my message along to students and your colleagues again?
Thanks,
Jack

With your work in Education Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

- Hi John. Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get NC students involved. Please let me know. Thanks!
