Hi Diana, I am head of teaching and learning in a middle school in Australia which is a revolution as we generally don't cater for middle school here. We are currently looking to research good practice on an international level in the hopes of designing a curriculum and pedagogical structure that really promotes engagement and learning. I was wondering if you could sent me some advice re your thoughts on what makes a Middle school great? Cheers, Jodie
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?
Hi Diana. I was wondering if you have students or educator friends who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
With your work in Web Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
Hi and welcome from Germany! Feel free to check some of my sites - my focus is on Web 2.0 apps in the classroom and I run one of the biggest groups on CR 2.0 called DigiSkills

Thank you for the invite. I look forward to communicating with you online since I never get to see you any other time.
