Hi Jack,
I handed your note to the teacher at my school who does SAT preps. Will let you know if she responds.

Roma.

Never mind, Went to the website. I'll run it past our LA teacher.

This looks like something I could do with my video club students. I'll run it by them, and check out the rules. :-)

Jack-

Very cool, but know that I see the official page I should probably let you know that my district is k-8 & not thinking too much about the ACT/SATs...

Thanks for the link, I have sent it out to all of our district high school folks to let their students know.

Hi Jack. Thanks for the note. Please send the details, by email, to our youth services librarian at the Utah State Library, Susan Ludington, sludington@utah.gov, or reach her by phone at (801) 715-6742.

Hi Jack! I love the project. I'm only working as an adjunct right now--and online--so I don't have a lot of contact with students. I did include BrainyFlix and the contest in the course, the course blog and shared bookmarks so they know about it and might try it with their students. I'll look forward to seeing the entries! --djb

Hello Jack! I actually don't deal directly with students. I am at a Regional Service Center and I serve 65 districts in the Panhandle of Texas. I have forwarded the information and if any of them are interested, they'll be contacting you. :) Sounds like an exciting adventure, though.

Hi Jack, it may factor into our future second semester. I'll definitely give it a look. In the mean time we mentioned it in the Middle School Matters podcast a few weeks ago. Hope that helps out the participation!

Hi, Jack,
I forwarded your SAT Flix info to several groups in Tapped In ( www.tappedin.org ) to see if any of the teachers there would be interested.

Hi Jack,
I WILL be passing this along to the video crew. Thanks for the good idea and the heads-up!

I don't teach, but I passed it on to two teachers who do video with their students as well as our Director of Guidance. I'll also pass it on to others within my region.

Thanks! This sounds right up our alley. I passed the info on to our middle school and high school Language Arts teachers.

Looks cool. I think I can work with some students and teachers in my school to put some things together.

THanks Jack .. I'll take a look .. thanks for the nudge!

Hi, Jack, I'm not currently in a classroom (but that may change soon, with the CA budgetary woes), but I have access to lots of classrooms. I will pass it on to our junior high English teachers and to some of my 5th and 6th grade colleagues!

Hi Jack,
Our school is a 4-9th grade all boys independent day school, so our boys typically are focused on the SSAT, not the SAT -- I will forward your BrainyFlix web site to our English Department. Thanks for the FYI and good luck! Lisa

Jack,
I teach a lot of videography, photoshop, etc. to teachers, however I do not have direct connections with students. I will be passing this info on to teachers in our regional agency. Wonderful idea and nice site... Dave

Jack, I have a group that would be really interested. I'll run it by them and show them the site. We could make it a class project. Thanks for the info.

Hi Jack,
you bet we would...I will check out the website and get back to you.
Pat

Hi Jack,
I will look at the website and see if this is possible.
Erica

Dear Jack,

Thanks for the comment... I'll check this out and plan to share it w/ my new "crop" of juniors later this year (still finishing up w/ seniors at this point.)

in peace,
Shelley

Hi Jack,

I will pass the information along. I do not have any direct students but do have access to teachers looking for opportunities for students to create content.

Heather

Jack,
I too, will pass along your information to the ITRT in my county that serves middle and high school. I work with elementary teachers and students.
Susan

I will have to look into the additional info. Thanks for the contact. S

Haven't forgotten the post, just had a computer crash...back atcha soon when I'm off this loaner! --Amy

I will pass on some information to a few friends of mine at the high school. We are on break so it might take me a few days to get the word out.

I plan to pass this information along to our 2 high school English teachers. It sounds like a great idea.

Thanks for the offer. I currently am teaching 7th graders. If you are interested in something along those lines, let me know.

Hi Jack,
I teach 3rd-6th grade -- no child prodigies in the group, so none studying for SAT that I know of. I can forward your interest to some teachers at the local high school; perhaps there will be a "taker." Thanks for the contact info.
Debbie

Thank you for thinking of us. I've passed the info along.

Hi Jack,
My students are elementary age Prek-5th grade. Is this suitable for the 5th grade students?

Hi Jack, I will pass the information along. Thank you for the invite.

Dear Jack, I hope I can help my students contribute to your site. One comment the kids made when I showed them the existing videos was that videos looked a lot like workbooks on tape. It is curious that talented technologically able folks end up with talking head movies that promote the use of video in the classroom or workbook like videos. I don't know if my students can do any better, but I will encourage them to try. Thanks for asking.

Jack,
I will do that...thank you for reaching out! Best of luck!
Sydney

Hey Jack - FYI
I've assigned a Vocab Video to all of the students (about 20) in my Media Arts class. It turned out to be perfect timing since we just finished a video project.
We'll be in touch!

Jack,

I passed on your information to the High School Principal and have not heard back. Thanks for the invite.

Cecile

Hi Jack,
Sorry I haven't been back to check my account lately so I'm just getting your vocab video contest invite. I'm getting the info together now and will head over to the high school to drum up some interest!

Let me know if there are any details I should know about that may not come across on the http://www.brainyflix.com/ site.

Jack,
I know I may be a bit delayed in responding, but please respond if you are still in need of participants. I will take some time in the next day to explore BrainyFlix.com.
Much appreciated,
Laura V.

Great contest Jack, I shared your information with several students and teachers at my school today.

JC

Jack, thanks for letting me know about this. I just sent it to all our teachers.. I'll see what kind of response we get.

Thanks
Caren K.

Unfortunately my students are only 12 and 13 yrs old. I will however check with some of the teachers at the high school.

Jack,

I'm interested in hearing more. I teacher honors students and they would probably be interested in doing something like that, but I'd like to hear more details. Best email to get to me at is: yearlingb@fortschools.org

Looking forward to it.

We are also starting a video productions/editing class that I will be teaching next year, so perhaps this could tie in somehow.

Hi Jack,
I have talked to several teachers about doing this project with my students. We do a short power point with video as a project at the end of our sixty day course. I want to introduce the idea to the kids and give them this as an option. My only problem is that I do not have access to uploading anything to the web without administration approval. I will have to check this out.
Cathy

PS I teach 6th 7th and 8th. Is this limited to only 8th grade?

Thanks for the invitation and I will pass this along to some of the teachers I work with,. Thanks

Thanks for passing that on, Jack. It looks like a great contest. I'll talk to my kids about it, but I'm guessing this would be a better fit with my dept. chair's AP class & a project they already do. I'll pass it on to him.
Thanks again.

Jack:

Sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I will speak with our Academic Dean and see if this is something we can do with the kids.
Cheers.

This is a great idea. We have a network of schools in Alabama. I'll share it with our secondary schools and see what interest is there. On a related note, the elementary group this year is working on developing essential vocabularly for grades pk - 5. Do you have anything there? Thanks for sharing this and I'll be in touch.

We work with about 200 teenagers in out-of-school time. It sounds great!
