Hi Diane,
Thanks for the comment! I used to live in Greensboro, NC and have friends in the area. I'd love to share stories with your class! I checked out your blog- nice work!
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?
Thanks for your kind words Diane. Lucky you living in Italy for a while. My daughter, Kerry, lived there for a year when she was 15 (on Student Exchange) so she speaks fluent Italian. We went to visit her while she was living there and we took her with us into France, Germany etc. She lived in Venice for 3 months and Bari, in the south for the rest. I enjoy Clay work and hope to do some more this year after we get our kiln repaired.I might get some ideas from you.We'll talk again soon hopefully, Cheers.
Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from North Carolina.
