Hey Sara,

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

YOU ROCK, SARA! THANK YOU!

Hi Sara!

Hope you're enjoying the winter break. 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 Nevada!

You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Nacol has a paper on at-risk students that came out right after that blended learning that is worth reading. The 3rd in the series is on socialization and I was interviewed for that one so has a blurb on our social network in it.
