- Education Outreach Coordinator, Arkansas Science & Technology Authority
- About Me
- I've worked in public k-12 Education for over twenty years and just begun a new position with the Arkansas Science & Technology Authority. My past experience has included twelve years at the district level providing instructional technology development and training. My last position was Director of Instructional Technology for the Hot Springs School District.
In my present position I will be administrating three grant programs for STEM education. I've spent the last year learning and teaching Web 2.0 tools and I believe the magnitude of opportunities they will provide for all students is huge!

Hope you had a nice winter break. I was wondering if you or your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. We'd really like to get students involved from Arkansas!
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

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
