by Jim McDermott


I’d like to share an opportunity with you to participate in a fantastic contest designed to help high school students prepare for the SAT/ACT. In this contest, students create flashcards — images and sentences paired up with one of their SAT/ACT vocabulary words. The contest ends 5/22/2009 and there are prizes. The contest is sponsored by MIT and is a follow up to the successful BrainyFlix which you can also see at their website.
