Hi, Cammie! I've used Voki in school and at home. It can be a little twitchy at times, and so I've moved all the kids to G-Cast. They each have their own podcast channel, and then I just set up their RSS feeds in a tab on my Netvibes page - now they just have to call in from land or cell, and it automatically appears on my page in minutes. Mucho coolness. Here's the URL of one of my second year's if you want to check it out - (this assignment was writing a poem about a favorite childhood place) Some is a bit, mmmm, hard to understand - but still wonderful overall. http://www.gcast.com/user/2AlexC/podcast/main
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?
