Happy New Year! I was wondering if you, your educator contacts 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 Colorado!

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

I am a 4th grade teacher in the Cherry Creek School district. I will be co-facilitating an in building E4 (Enhance-Enable-Engage-Empower) Computers for Teachers study group at my school, Village East Elementary. We will be using your book and Classroom Instruction that Works with ELLs as resources to guide our discussions and learning. I'd love to have you come visit or at the least be available through Classroom 2.0 to enhance our learning. The study group will begin in August and meet every three weeks during the '08-'09 school year. We will also have a participant wiki that might be of interest to you. Let me know if you are interested in any of the above. Look forward to using your ideas in our effort to create 21st Century learning environments.
Take Care,
Melissa Fisher
