About Me
I am a social studies and science teacher at the 4th and 5th grade level. I use google docs to create sites where students can post comments about topics we discuss in class. They also use this site to write short reports. I love teaching and would love to find out more about how other teachers stay motivated and excited about learning.

    Hi Barbara!

    Happy New Year! I was wondering if you have any high school or middle school contacts who would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from Pennsylvania!

    You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

    Hey Barbara,

    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 telling students and your colleagues again?

    Thanks,
    Jack
