I try to be the "Information Specialist" at my school. I do what I can to support my students, staff and colleagues with technology, information and suggestions for "Great Reads". I try to be available with a supportive hand when anyone would like to try something outside of their comfort zone and I personally LOVE a good challenge. Learning new things, technology, books and doodling are my passions. I think I am addicted to my iPod and TED podcasts.
I've decided to try to find online resources that are working for other Information Specialists. I attended a session at FETC recently and found that I am beginning to find my own PLN through Facebook and Delicious. Now, I am going to try to find other like minded individuals through Twitter, Ning and any other fun places I find myself. I am hoping I will find some new friends and colleagues. I'm ready for the ride!
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 Donna. I was wondering if you have educator contacts 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!
