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,
Jack

Hope you're enjoying the winter break. 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 Georgia!

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

I just happen to know the benefit of online/ distance learning and want to see if i can get partners to help get education to people in rural areas in my country. on my own i have come up a television which we are using in educating people. We are done with two seasons already and are currently working on the third. hope to invite you over someday. i will be grateful if your school can collaborate with a friend's school.
