Will do.

Dan

Sure - I'll take take of it this week.

Jill

Sure. I just sent it out for you.

no problem

Jack,
This site has come a long way and it's great. I have passed it on to our English Curriculum Coordinator and High School Principal, and a few others who are interested in using innovative strategies to teach. I hope you see some Watertown High students in the upcoming contest : )
Ann

The lin was broken

Will do, glad to hear that the work is going well! Peace-Nicodemus

Thanks Jack,
I will pass on the info t the other librarians in my district.

Sure, Jack. I'm working on an issue on Film - if you're interested in contributing or asking a student to contribute, here's the focus:

March/April 2009 – Film (Co-editor Carolyn Fortuna)
Editorial Focus: Considers the purpose and process of teaching students to use film to compose, consume, communicate and think critically and creatively in a visually saturated world.
What are key theoretical foundations might ground our pedagogy? What are the basic aesthetic and critical elements (grammar, conventions) of film composition and viewing and how do we teach them? How can we engage students in some of the key ethical issues that arise from film studies? What resources and audiences should school librarians know? What are school librarians doing to teach students to become fluent, critical and creative film viewers and producers?

Jack,

Hi Jack,

I'll pass it along. May be a little harder to get students into it, as they are finishing up their projects as the school year end looms near.

Scott

Will be happy to share with our teachers.

Hi Jack,
You've got about a month to submit. Here's a sample print issue of Knowledge Quest and here are author guidelines. If you decide to submit, send a message via my editorial e-mail on the web site and give me a short explanation of your idea.

I'll be glad to pass the info along to our language arts department and will also tell my upper level German students. Some of those kids would enjoy creating flashcards with SAT vocab.

Jack,

Short answer is that you need a mission that is compelling, that you can sell. Our mission really is focused on engaging teens with technology, finding a way to get them excited and provide a way for them to learn by doing. The resulting platform is interesting to lots of people. Schools care since they can't find a way to provide it for their kids - moving too quickly and too expensive. After school programs care as a way to provide something productive to their kids. Companies care in order to drive more teens into STEM. Etc. So once you have this kind of interest and reach, it just comes down to hard work asking for support and building a model where they feel like they are getting value for their money.

Dale

I will definitely pass this contest information on.

Will do, Jack. Not sure that of my students participated in the last round, but we'll keep passing the word along...

Will do. I don't think we have a chance last time to get any in, but I'll pass it along.

am I too late?

Hi Jack. I have been forwarding your information to our English teachers. Will give you some feedback shortly. Love your site. It's AWESOME!

Hi Jack,
Just shared your site with a ton of people at Penn State 1-to-1 computing conf.
It was a huge hit! Thanks for your time and dedication to education! My own children will be adding to the site this summer. Wondering if you travel to do presentations?

In fact, I will be holding a Classroom 2.0 Conference in Sept. 17 and 18 and would love it if you could come down to present. Let me know if you might be interested. I think what you are doing is really going to have a huge impact on student learning and we need more people to see the relevance in ed. tech, constructivism and online publications. It would be an incredible opportunity for our school districts to meet and hear from you and how your initiative has truly taken off! Please feel free to email me at ccapozzoli@caiu.org if you are interested in joining us for a day. We would love to have you!
Thanks!

Jack,
I must apologize, I haven't been on here for a number of months. Thank you for the invite to the Vocab quiz. If you ever have a request for student volunteers, let me know.

I supposeI need to change my email settings. I am just getting on here and reading this. If you ever need help again, just let me know.

Thanks

Jack, is the website the brainyflix site? or another? If I have time with the class, I would be more than happy to.

I have a group of 5 students who are ready to review the site. I am preparing a info sheet for them...would you be able to provide some general information about who is "targeted" or your customer is for the site? I can tell based on the site, but I would like to be able to provide them with a real world description from those who have put it together!

Thanks

Jack, great thanks! I will put this together and possibly have some feedback for you before the end of the week! If you need to get in touch, my email is brannick@bonnerprendie.com Thanks for the opportunity for my students!!

I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I will be more attentive to my page

Jack, Sorry it took forever to respond. Yes I know of several classes that would participate next year if the contest is held again. I wish I had checked in earlier!

Jack, I need to join the apologies, it seems! I would love to connect next year if you do it again.

Sorry, like many teachers I have my feet experimentally in too many pots as I try to sort out what will be the most useful...

My kids' school year ends this week, but post me about ideas for next year. I am interested in learning how to help kids explore the tools of technology in meaningful way. They need no help accessing them for fun, but largely superficial activities.

Is BrainyFlix running again in 2010?

Thx

Sorry I didn't check my mail--PLEASE remember me for the next competition--I have an Interactive Multimedia class that this would be wonderful for!

I am back to NING... Sorry I am just reading your comment. Pls. let me know about your next competition. I'll do my best next time!

I apologize for not reading your request for participants i nthe contest from Alabama. YES! we have many students who would be interested. I send a monthly e-mail to teachers of gifted students about grants, contests, PD opportunities. Could you send me the link about this contest and I can put it i nthe August newsletter. I am also starting a Twitter feed for the teachers when I receive information aftet a newsletter goes out. Thank you for including us!

Thank you for the links. I will make sure teachers receive them. I am also going to send these links to the technology department here at the state department.

Can you give me more information about how it works?

I apologize Jack for not responding to your request. I will try and remember you when the school year begins again in September. It sounds and looks like a valuable project that the kids I teach would enjoy participating in. Thanks for the suggestion.

You snooze , you lose...and I did. My loss, great vocab videos. ( for me too as I get ready for GRE) . I'll keep you in mind this year. I'll mention it to my English colleagues too. We start early this year ( Aug. 12). :)

Hi Jack
Nice to meet you!
What do you teach?

Hello Jack,
I joined this list in hopes that it will connect me with more people who are using computers to teach in their classrooms. I am really hungry for ideas!!

Hello Jack
My students wouldn't be suitable but I do have someone at the high school who might want to collaborate with you. I will pass on your info to her. Her name is Julie. Thanks for thinking of me.

I'm sorry about taking so long to reply. I was new to ning- and made it harder than it actually was. I ended up opening my own site on here- it's for teachers that use the MacMillan McGraw-Hill Reading Series Treasures. Would that group help you- it's K-6 and we have a sister site on Yahoo! that I started earlier this year.
I know that group members would love to participate, but it doesn't look like it's in our age group. Are you working on anything perhaps more K-6 age?
Please contact me with any info I can pass along.

Sorry Jack,
I'm logged into so many networks I didn't even know I had an account here. I would be interested in taking part in your vocab program this year if you are still holding it.

Sorry Jack, missed your invite earlier this year. I would love to pull together groups int he future if this opportunity arises again.

WOW, Jack-looks like I am not the only one who missed your invite-what a bummer. Please keep me in mind for future projects

Jack, we'll spread the word about BrainyPics. We are working with 11 different classes this semester, and we'll try to involve all of them. Thanks for the invitation.

Shoot I didn't see this till now. Do you still need partners from iowa for video vocab?

Thank you for the note about the SAT competition. Our students are only K-8, however, so the SAT's are a bit off in their future!
