Hope you had a nice winter break. I was wondering if your colleagues and students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get students involved from Ohio!
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

- Hi Kristen,
I wanted to let you know about Teaching Content 2.0. This is a new social network site designed to promote more content focused discussion. I've just started this site and I'm hoping that teachers will discuss the specifics of what they are teaching and how they use technology to most effectively promote high quality learning. The address is http://www.teachingcontent.ning.com.
