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?
Thanks for posting the links to your documents.

What a wonderful surprise to get your message, Dana! Thanks for the invitation to attend your session on social justice. I have a luncheon to attend. Then I have to go to J.01 for a bit. I'll try to get to yours, too, if I can. I am so glad you are doing a session on social justice - most important. Your message is most appreciated.
Blessings to you,

Hey, look at the contact I've made with your fellow PA teacher. It is a small world. My mom is a western PA girl.

Talk to you!

i programmed your numer and i'm cool with posting min: 412-551-9433. i'd liek to meet you too... i was going through some old classroom pictures and i found some stuff that really reflects the whole notion of Disturb the Universe.. my students, spray painted those very words in Red Paint on a HUGE background. It stayed in the back of the room -- posted high -- an artifact to the culture of our class --to what we hoped to move toward.
i'm getting really excited about the convention. i'm flying in tuesday. when do you arrive?
talk soon.
