Jack - the website (BrainyFlix.com) says submissions need to be in already. Is this a typo?

I will make the other departments aware of the opportunity. Thank you and good luck. Does "@ MIT" actually mean students traveling to Boston or just their work?

Hi Jack,
I'll pass this along.

Hi Jack, I have already passed this to my high school people. I will send a reminder for Jan. 5 when they return to school. I think it is an awesome opportunity. The kids will love it.

Hi Jack,

Good news! Our Junior AP Lit teacher is interested in your BrainyFlix project. I've sent him the link. Check off Chattanooga, TN as one of your locations. I'll be cheering him on. Thanks for letting us know about this.

Jack I went to the contest site and it said the end date for submitting entries was March 16, 2008. It's now 09, (how did that happen). Is this still a valid contest. My team teacher may be interested in participating in it.

Sounds great! How do we pick words? I definitely want to participate. I'll get something going.

Greetings Jack!

I will pass your request along to my husband Jamie, who is one of the technology coaches for our district here in Magnolia. I'm pretty sure he will be able to find some secondary folks who would love the opportunity to participate. Thanks for the contact!

Hi Jack,
Will pass on the info. to our secondary and tech teachers with the new date for submission being 3/16/09.
Thanks from Hawaii

I will mention it on the air a couple of times. Our next show is Jan. 6.

Thanks for the invite Jack--I will pass it along !

Jack,

Yes. I would definitely be interested in this, and I'll pass along the info to my colleagues. I saw some similar projects that students had done with vocabulary words when I attended the National Council of Teachers of English in San Antonio recently and had already thought of implementing this in my classroom. Thanks so much for the invite!

Thanks Jack I will surely pass this along to some of my colleagues!! Great idea!!!!!!! I will announce it at church and at my job.... etc.

Thanks for the invite. I think my kids would love this; I'll bring it to my admin and see what their take on it is. If it's good for admin, I'll bring it to my students.

Thanks for looking me up. One quick question that is not addressed in the rules, are movies allowed to be used as a foundation, or does it have to be the tapes of students? e.g. I've taken a scene from Shaolin Soccer and overlayed the information to teach students "kenetic energy" or "shockwave" - add some music and it ends up being similar to a music video with popup info. Is this allowed for the competition?

Definitely interested!! Send more infor!

Hi, thanks for the invite. I am interested. I will present it to some of the districts I work with.

Hi,

Thanks for the invite. At the moment, I am not interested but I will keep it in mind for the future.

I feel it is important students analyze and understand the impact different technologies have on their lives;both positively and negatively. Do you have any ideas for lessons on the subject?

Best,
Eli

Thanks for your note, Jack. I'm teaching a class in the spring and may add your project for my students.

Let me get back to you on that. I will reply soon. Must verify but I think it sounds great.

I'll ask around with the high school level teachers I support. This would be a nice way to show them what kids COULD easily be doing.

I teach a 6th grade course in 21st Century skills, I know the vocab is tough, but hey they can do one word! This should be a fun project for the new year!

Hi Jack! I added it to my LD 3 Arts website. Thanks for the info!

Hi Jack. I teach library in an Intermediate School (grades 3-5). Were you looking for middle schoolers or high schoolers? All the librarians in my district (Commack) will be meeting on Wednesday, 1/7 after school. Can you send me some info that I can present to them? I do not think that they are members of Classroom 2.0, so could you send me a hyperlink to forward to them? They may know of classroom teachers who would be interested in presenting this to their students.

Thanks for sending me the info.
Regards,
Sue

I will talk with a teacher who I think would be very interested in this project and get back to you.

Hi Jack,
That sounds really interesting and a great opportunity. I will check around and see if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the invite!
Patty

Can you give me more information or a web address I can check out? Sounds intriguing!

Got it - just saw Jill vacillating - very cute and looks like a lot of fun. i need to check out school policy on kids submitting videos through school. All of the legal issues are rather new to us. I'll try to get back to you tomorrow. I gather the rules are on the BrainyFlix.com site.

Jack,
I will talk with our tech director about the possibility. As I believe I saw on someone else's comment . . . got to make sure there aren't any legal ramifications, etc., etc., etc.

It does sound very interesting. I hope I will be given the "go ahead" and can spread the word!

Hey Jack, no, you didn't drop the ball, I have just been away from my desk to tend to some family stuff. Yes, let's set up a podcast next week. When are you avail? Why don't you ping me directly at ernest.koe@proofgroup.com.

Cheers

Jack,
I'm in Dallas -PA Sorry.

I would have to check to see if it's something we could do. Can you give me some more details about it?
Thanks

Looks fun! I'll pass this on to our film class. I may be able to do something with one of my classes as well. Thanks.
Jennifer in PA

I blogged about it BrainyFlix (http://tipline.blogspot.com/2009/01/brainyflix-vid-can-get-you-200.html) and it's been mentioned a few times by different folks on Twitter. You should get some good response. Good luck!

I'll pass it on to my English teachers in the Middle School and also to a few English teachers in the Upper School! Thanks.

Jack,

Sounds like a great idea! I'll spread the word. What do you teach?

We have 4 broadcasting classes and 2 digital media classes at our middle school. Is the contest limited to SAT words?

Happy New Year - Jane

Dear Jack,

We start up school again on Monday Jan 4th. Please keep me in the loop. I would love to have my students try it out.

QUestions: When? What Topic of Vocab Covered (General Technology?), Age/Grade Level?

Thanks, Jeanine Naleap

Hi Jack,
Looks great! I'll talk with people from my district and let you know. Thanks, Tina Francis

Hi Jack,
I'll pass it along to my high school teachers and let you know.
Thanks
Rose

That sounds great Jack - the teachers & students are back tomorrow so can start recruiting!

Hi Jack,
I will pass the information along to our teachers. Hopefully some will want to participate.

Jack - Tell me you are the guy who is eating spagetti w/maple syrup........ Thank you for the challenge. I am going to see my teachers tomorrow and will entice them to participate. I think the students are going to love the challenge. What a neat idea!. I will also share this with other school districts in W. NY so that you will have a representative sample.

Thanks for the link. I will check this out at work tomorrow. Happy New Year!
Regards,
Sue Lercher

Jack - I'm happy to pass this along. Thanks.

Jack,
This looks like a fun project for our multimedia production students. I'll pass this along to my teacher.

Scott Palmer

Absolutely. You can email me directly at jill.berkowicz@spackenkillschools.org
I will call the High School tomorrow and get the ball rolling.

Jack,
Im in the Bronx, you were looking for more Connecticut students. Does this matter?
Jeff

Thanks for the info. I will see if any of our middle school students/teachers would like to be involved.

I will ask my teachers. Will you give me more information about this project?

Hi! I will talk to my students and to see if I have any interest. Thanks

Hello Jack, I am interested in this and will share the contest with my Digital Production Club. I really like the idea and am interested in wrapping my head around it some more...
