Hi Rushton. Great session about Next Vista today at Tapped In. I'm hoping that it really takes off for you.

Man, you're fast!

Hi Rushton..It was great to get to know you at NECC! I am looking forward to some more conversations!

I added myself yesterday. I am looking forward to watching how this develops and maybe also contributing! Are you busy now that you are home?

Hello Rushton I like your style man. I would be very greatful to be added as one of your friends.

Have a great christmas and look forward to networking with you. Cheers

Rushton,
Hello from Pennsylvania. I also teach and I have a non-profit in the Philippines

Rushton,

Yes, we have a site at:

www.spcshelter.org

My wife and I are going back this summer to visit family and to work on the shelter. Thanks, Kevin

I am relatively new here. I am from Ghana and I'm just here to learn, contribute as well as link up with like-minded people who will be willing to share their experiences as well as help in spreading the concept of distance learning and adult education to Africa, which lags behind as far as education is concerned. My company has developed a television program called 'ADULTS IN EDUCATION' which is used in teaching,especially adults, how to read and write as well as general tips on how to take care of oneself. We also treat social issues as well. Television is still the widest means of disseminating information here in Ghana. I am actually a film director and a writer.

I tried getting in touch with you on your non profit site bu i think i wasn't able to. Hope everything is fine. My company is embarking on a film project so i wanted to discuss a few things with you in connection with how to get funding for a film project in Africa. Please get in touch when you get this message.

Read about your newsletter from Gail Desler. Where do you sign up for it.

Rushton,

I am starting a brand new video productions course at my high school next year, and I have no local contacts that have experience in the class. Just wondering if you have any suggestions, files, ideas, or advice for me as I am preparing for the curriculum and big picture of the class.

Thanks,

Brian Yearling

Hey Mr. Hurley, (Hurley Sensei)
Been a long time for me to talk to you, but found this site by searching your name. Glad to see that you still juggle. I am in Japan now doing what you did at my age. It is a great experience like you said. Would love to talk to some again about the old days and maybe about life in general. I hear the Japanese program at Silver Creek is still going strong and has done well at the Japan bowls. Well take care and drop me a line if you are ever in Japan.

Hey Rushton, I will be with those same folks at the Ohio eTech in Columbus this weekend and will give them your regards! Since I work for Nwoet I will be there as well. Hope to see you there, Cheers Gerry

Rushton,

I'd love to hear more from you on the video editing class. It really is more about writing, planning, producing, and the technology needed to do just that, so maybe you could send me whatever resources you've got. Best way is probably through email: brianyearling@gmail.com

Thanks, I really appreciate your time and thoughts,

Brian Yearling

Hi Rushton. I was wondering if you have students or educator friends who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Good question, Rushton. This is a bit of a gray area, but we do believe that since this contest is a charity event sponsored by a non-profit for educational purposes, the use of the copyrighted material falls under Fair Use. If the owners of the copyright do have a problem with it, they'd probably send a cease and desist letter (maybe to the maker of the video, us at BrainyFlix, or - most likely- Youtube or Schooltube). And if we do receive one (hopefully not) we'll deal with it on a case-by-case basis. So in summary, we think because this is public service, we are OK by Fair Use rules, and if an issue does arise, the parties can have a reasonable discussion.

Interesting idea! This is our first go at this, so we doing our best to learn-on-the-go. Definitely though, that is something we'll mull over in the future

Hey Rushton,
Thanks for sending me the video class planning information. I'm just getting to that stage where I am really looking at the information. I appreciate what you've shared with me. Do you have any other files or documents available that I can take a look through. I definitely found some ideas from what you gave me the first time around that I will be using (and had not thought of). Just looking for whatever else you might have.

Thanks,

Brian Yearling

Hey Rushton,
At the ILC conference I signed up for your email updates which I thoroughly enjoyed. (Loved the water buffalo video) I'm not receiving them anymore. Are you still sending them out? If so, let me give you a new email for your list. Thanks!

Did you send it to the dobrien917@gmail address? No hurry. :) Thank you so much!

We still need to chat about the homeschool stuff. You mentioned having some questions? I work for the district at an Independent Study & Homeschool Charter as a teacher. Let's talk.

Hi. I attended two of your sessions at the ICE conference in Illinois and loved both of them!

Rushton, that's EXCELLENT news!! I'll be there for April 6-7 (and 5 - that's coaches only) and can't wait to connect with you again. I know my teachers will be excited to have you there. Since you're going to be there, I'll be sure and wear my Give a Shirt. If you tell me what you want in a video, I'll see if I can't get one of those for you, too. They're very excited to share with you what's going on.
