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?
First--I so enjoyed my visit to Idaho! Let me know when you want a return visit because I'm ready!
Thanks for your comments on the Convention. I'm glad you took the opportunity to hear Barbara Enrenreich. She was amazing.
You asked about getting an electronic copy of the comments I made after Enrenreich's speech. I don't have a great copy to offer you--I was scribbling notes quickly as she was speaking on the back of some paper. If I can reconstruct them, I'll send them on to you. However, I've made very similar comments in chapter one (or the Introduction) of a new book, Adolescent Literacy: Turning Promise into Practice.
Again, thanks for your note. Enjoy a wonderful holiday season.
