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.
I imagine you are in the midst of meetings at work, but I wanted to say hello, and also to let you know I enjoyed the (only) two days I was able to attend the tech workshop a couple of weeks ago at MSU--and catching up on what's going on with you.
I hope you will come to our MCTE Autumn Assembly on October 3 at the Lansing Sheraton Hotel. Also, are you willing to disperse some flyers into teacher mailboxes of ELA folks in your building?
Thanks, and hope to join you and the writing group at Panara's one day soon.
