About Me
I am passionate about educational technology, but skeptical about many of the new things. I have made conscious decisions NOT to try some of the new things just because it becomes overwhelming.

I worked for 6 years with the eMINTS National Center in Missouri and will be starting a job as a Computer Technology Coordinator at Barton Creek Elementary School.

    Hi Janice. I was wondering if your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

    Hey Janice,

    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 HS colleagues again?

    Thanks,
    Jack
