Hi! I'm sure Alice already told you, but please fill out her Google Doc regarding setting up future meetings in Sac. It will just take a minute. Thanks for your feedback. :)

Just letting you know that plans are being made for follow-up meetings to CR2.0Sac2009. Please respond if you're interested here.

Hey Larry,

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 your HS colleagues again?

Thanks,
Jack

Larry, have u seen Primary Access it could be a great resource for ESL, you create a digital story and narrate it w/ subtitles and when it narrates it highlights the text (think when singing karokee).

Well, I have giving up the battle of creating a custom blog in Rapid Weaver. My limited understanding of HTML and CSS, combined w/ the RSS feed from my worst nightmare and lack of patience; has persuaded me to use one of the more popular blog tools out there.

If you scroll down you will see my fav blog post.

Keep up the great work, you're an inspiration to us all and I look forward to reading your posts daily!!!

YES, that'd be great, Please do, Larry

Hi Larry. I was wondering if you have students or educator friends who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Yea, I'm working on setting up the comments but there is a bit of a learning curve, learning this new web app, it uses something called Haloscan.

I just came across this link which if you scroll down it has 2 very useful networks for learning languages, this seems right up your ally.

Hey Larry, I made a blog on your blog testing out a new web app I received, Rapid Web Design.
