    It's nice to have technology minded individuals on the board! I worked in a district where the school board, and superintendent could care less about technology, and it really showed across the district. Anyway, here is one for the K-1 teachers, who usually have to "dumb-down" programs built for other grade levels to try to make them work for primary. This one was built especially for K-1, to cut assessment time in half, and give them a deeper analysis of their test data so they can actually use it. http://intro.esgisoftware.com If you end up passing this on to any kindergarten teachers, i would love to hear their response.

    Hey April,

    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
