About Me
Hello. I am a Media Specialist and in my 11th year of teaching. I have begun a new job this year and am learning new things everyday. I look forward to using this site to learn about many of the Web2.0 tools and how to use them in collaboration with classroom teachers.

    Hi Tonya. I was wondering if you have students or educator contacts 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!

    Cool thank, Tonya! We actually let anyone participate, but of course, it depends most on the teachers' judgment and kids' initiative.

    Hey Tonya,

    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 your HS colleagues again?

    Thanks,
    Jack
