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.
Bud,
Thanks for all the great help and advice and pointers given at the NCTE conference. I am still in the learning stage, but you have really encouraged me in the journey of technology. Thank you.

Try this incredibly simple but quite useful analogy to reach students who are struggling with issues of audience and style. Soon they’ll be speaking to, and not at, their audience.
Lynette, I've also been to a lecture given by Mrs. Jago and have to agree whole heartedly with your assessment of her work. She is one of several whose message helps keep me renewed as an educator.
As the number of English Language Learners has increased, the politics of English language learning have become more prominent and complicated. Join this group today.

Good to hear from you! Great to see that you'll be in San Antonio.
I live in Boulder and am a member of CLAS. Would you be my friend?
