    Just had a little chat with the team. We're going to accept videos with embed links from either YouTube or SchoolTube, so hopefully that works OK. Please let me know!

    SchoolTube.com is like YouTube.com but it has been approved by educator groups. I'm hoping it is accessible to your school/library networks. If not, maybe what your kids can do is film the video and just upload from their homes.

    Hey Linda,

    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
