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?

Good to find you here. I'll look forward to seeing you again in San Antonio, and please let me know if I can do something for you and the Middle Level Section. For you...anything! It would be my pleasure to work with you. Best of wishes to the best of colleagues. (By the way, in my photo here, I'm the one on the right. It can be confusing, I know).
