Cool idea. I'll use my contacts in Washington to spread the word.

At 4:09pm on February 12, 2009, Deanna Cooper said…: I don't have students who could do this. I suggest you contact Thomas Cooper. He may be interested in this.

At 1:16pm on February 11, 2009, Alecia Berman-Dry said…: Hi Jack. Our students are in middle school and elementary school, so they're a bit young for that. I did pass it along to two colleagues who teach high school.

If you are open to partnering with this project in the 2009-2010 school year, please send me an email so we can explore the possibilities. Best, Julie

At 2:51pm on February 8, 2009, Jim Brinling said…: Jack, I see I'm not the only one who checks their wall infrequently. I can think of a couple of people in our building to forward this to who explicitly teach in the language arts and computer apps area.

Sounds like a great and worthwhile project!!!

Sorry, just found your note. Let me take a look at it and I'll let you know about the SAT contest.

At 7:54am on February 6, 2009, Katrina Johnston said…: I forwarded the URL to our English department.

At 8:24pm on February 5, 2009, Rushton Hurley said…: Hey Jack, the chances of getting an objection are minimal. That said, it would be nice for you (perhaps in future competitions) to give a notable point bonus to those who properly credit their copyright-friendly sources. There is certainly loads of legal stuff out there one can work with. I'd like to connect with you on such ideas via e-mail at some point; feel free to contact me at rh(at)nextvista.org.

Take care!

At 5:44pm on February 5, 2009, Jen Bradshaw said…: Jack,

I think it's a great project, and one our high schools might be interested in. I'll try to get it going . . .

Thanks!

At 12:17pm on February 5, 2009, John Lustig said…: I don't, but if anything changes, I'll let you know.

At 10:25am on February 5, 2009, Ojas Ray said…: Sounds like an awesome idea. However, being a middle school teacher i dont think many of my students would be interested in that... if you do something for middle school students please let me know

At 9:45am on February 5, 2009, Ann Hamel said…: Jack,
Let me check on this and get back to you - sounds like fun.

Looks like fun to me

Thanks for the information. I will pass it on to the middle/high school.

As an elementary school librarian, I don't have students who would qualify (I don't believe so, anyways). However, I will pass the information on to the librarian at my daughter's school, Berkeley High.
