MIT university is trying to build a free resource to help kids learn SAT/ACT thru the power of user-generated images and video. We are currently running a nationwide contest, challenging kids to make fun and memorable flashcards by pairing sentences and images to a common test word. There will be a small cash prize and iTunes giveaways. Due date is May 22.
More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules. Do you have students or colleagues who would be interested?
did you find all of the handouts okay on the ning? if you search in the discussion for "high school matters" they should pop up as a post from me.....let me know if you have any questions or need any help! did you enjoy the conference?

By the way, if you'd like to write me directly, my address is dwright1987@centurytel.net.
