    Hey Matt,

    We've been trying to come up with other tools to help students, and one feature we are thinking about adding to BrainyFlix is a "vocab picture flashcard". It is... exactly what it sounds like. (We should come up with a better name). You can check it out here: http://www.brainyflix.com/flashcards/.

    This isn't a publicly advertised link because we want to test things out with some lead users first. I thought you might be a good person to give it a spin given your tech leanings.

    Please lemme know if it's of interest to you and feel free to circulate to some students. We'd love some feedback, both good and bad.

    Thanks,
    Jack

    Hey Matt,

    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

    Hi Matt. I found you when I was looking for a voicethread partner. I teach 4th grade in Kansas. I love incorporating web 2.0 tools into the classroom. We blog and podcast. I'm introducing skype and twitter for the next year. Do you know of anyone who'd like to collaborate on an activity or two? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
