Hey Jack - how wonderful to hear from you! Where are you in Japan? I'll actually be taking a group there in a couple of weeks! Is this your first year on JET? Or are you with another program? Please shoot a note directly to me at…
Hi Jack - This looks very cool, but when I watched one of the sample videos ("Obscure"), it included what sounded like a copyrighted song in it. I didn't see anything in the rules about avoiding copyrighted content; are submissions…
Hey Brian - I just added you as a viewer on a VP planning doc, and followed with an e-mail from my nextvista.org address. Let me know if one of them doesn't make it to you.
Hey Gerry, I won't be at the Ohio conference this year, but I'm hoping that next year is a possibility. Please say 'hello' to the folks I met last month for me!
Hey Rushton, I will be with those same folks at the Ohio eTech in Columbus this weekend and will give them your regards! Since I work for Nwoet I will be there as well. Hope to see you there, Cheers Gerry
I teach Japanese and video production, and I run a small save-the-world nonprofit called Next Vista for Learning. I also juggle and know way too much about late 70s, early 80s music.

Thanks for your comments, I'm delighted you enjoyed your time in Limerick! I'm snowed under with new projects right now, may take you up on your proposal in the future. Thanks
Rushton, I wanted to tell you that your seminar on the Flip Video for the PC was the best workshop that I have attended in a long time. You were so professional and methodical in your teaching. I wish that you were closer to Southern CA. I'm a CUE Affiliate Presidient of San Gabriel Valley and also an member for the Christian School in CA. If you are every on Southern CA and doing a presentation or workshop, please email me. I would attend in a heartbeat. You are a fabulous presenter. I would even love to take Japanese from you. I know that I would totally enjoy that also.
Rushton, that's EXCELLENT news!! I'll be there for April 6-7 (and 5 - that's coaches only) and can't wait to connect with you again. I know my teachers will be excited to have you there. Since you're going to be there, I'll be sure and wear my Give a Shirt. If you tell me what you want in a video, I'll see if I can't get one of those for you, too. They're very excited to share with you what's going on.
We still need to chat about the homeschool stuff. You mentioned having some questions? I work for the district at an Independent Study & Homeschool Charter as a teacher. Let's talk.
Hey Rushton,
At the ILC conference I signed up for your email updates which I thoroughly enjoyed. (Loved the water buffalo video) I'm not receiving them anymore. Are you still sending them out? If so, let me give you a new email for your list. Thanks!
Hey Rushton,
Thanks for sending me the video class planning information. I'm just getting to that stage where I am really looking at the information. I appreciate what you've shared with me. Do you have any other files or documents available that I can take a look through. I definitely found some ideas from what you gave me the first time around that I will be using (and had not thought of). Just looking for whatever else you might have.
Interesting idea! This is our first go at this, so we doing our best to learn-on-the-go. Definitely though, that is something we'll mull over in the future
Good question, Rushton. This is a bit of a gray area, but we do believe that since this contest is a charity event sponsored by a non-profit for educational purposes, the use of the copyrighted material falls under Fair Use. If the owners of the copyright do have a problem with it, they'd probably send a cease and desist letter (maybe to the maker of the video, us at BrainyFlix, or - most likely- Youtube or Schooltube). And if we do receive one (hopefully not) we'll deal with it on a case-by-case basis. So in summary, we think because this is public service, we are OK by Fair Use rules, and if an issue does arise, the parties can have a reasonable discussion.
