Thanks for your thoughts! Good point on depression being linked to archaic systems, you just might be on to something there. And on the point of hyper-individualism, I personally foresee education partially-reverting back to individualized study.…

Hi Z, thanks for the very interesting post and link back to Thomas Frey. It is refreshing to see a comprehensive summary of the direction things are heading--as I have only been sensing bits and pieces. Intuitively I feel that the analysis is right…

Nathan, Do you think that if the tools and resources were free, but a student then pays a teacher for their services and a percentage of the service fee would then go to support the tools would work?

What if we didn't change the paradigm that students and teachers go to a building together everyday, but change the paradigm of one being a teacher (babysitter) and the other being the learner? What if BOTH were viewed as learners. The students…

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 HS colleagues again?

Thanks,
Jack
