    First! I haven't seen who the teams are yet, but congratulations to the projects and talented people who made it into the EdTech accelerator. May you get what you wanted out of the experience.

    We did not make the cut this time, but are working hard on a bit of a runner-up prize.

    Loogla needs the help of teams committed to EdTech and learning in general. We stand to receive a $100,000 grant to improve language and literacy education but need to get the word out. Vote! Share! Like!

    Check out our video and vote at voteliteracy.com. If language and literacy are things you feel passionate about, *please* help us by spreading the word. We are the ONLY educational startup in the contest, and winning the grant would guarantee that all our hard work sees the light of day. Startups are a community, and we're happy to help you guys in any way we can.

      The vision is real but the knowledge must have been ancient. If put into the right categories of time, understanding the main principles are outlined automatically with the thought in mind that we will gain new ground as an art of a scientific method designed to accelerate educational opportunities abroad as well. For example, water is lucrative as verses a rock is solid. Both do not travel the same. "Rock steady." "Water runs."

    Hey All, part of teaching is breaking down preconceptions to allow new understanding to emerge. Here's an article I contributed to Mind Body Green today on 3 big myths our culture has about meditation music. It also speaks to any preconceived ideas you may have about meditation, generally: www.mindbodygreen.com/0-9117/the-3-biggest-myths-about-meditation-music.html
