Christopher Thomsen's Groups

About Me: I worked 2 years teaching 6th grade Math at an Intermediate building before transitioning to the Jr. High to teach 8th grade Math. This is my second year at the 8th grade level. There are a lot of differences. I enjoy the Math At the higher level but I've found that the impact as an educator is more significant at the lower grade levels.

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 telling students and your colleagues again?

Thanks,
Jack

Happy New Year! I was wondering if your colleagues or students would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from Ohio!

You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
