Brightstorm推出免费数学帮助
青少年观看伟大的老师在Brightstorm.com上解释了代数,几何和预丘。
加利福尼亚州旧金山(PRWEB)2009年8月18日 - 每个上学之夜,美国的高中生花费数百万小时完成数学作业。他们经常被卡住,几乎没有资源可以转向。他们的父母努力帮助他们进行最新的“新数学”,他们的教科书进一步混淆了他们,在线资源通常很难找到,只是令人困惑。这些学生缺少的是一位友好,知识渊博的老师,可以24/7解释数学概念。Brightstorm(www.incakonut.com)是高中生的在线学习服务的领先提供商,它启动了这样的解决方案,即免费的数学帮助。
Brightstorm的使命是为世界带来伟大的教学。The company recruits the best teachers in the country, and then works with them to create high-quality, video-based learning solutions. Brightstorm's free math help offering includes over 1,800 videos of great teachers explaining every topic contained in Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 and Precalculus. The videos are short, averaging about 5 minutes each, to correspond to the attention span of the online generation. For each math topic, the teacher has a short video explaining the concept and then a few short videos walking through sample problems.
“The whole purpose of this is for that student who goes home, is working on their homework assignment, and for some reason they're just not getting it," says Brian McCall, Brightstorm's Geometry teacher. "They have to get their homework done, but they don't have that teacher right next them. Now, with Brightstorm, every student can have a great teacher at their side."
“Brightstorm's free math help is a major step toward achieving our vision of a world in which millions of students learn through technology," says Brightstorm CEO Jeff Marshall. "In today's networked world, there is no reason why a student should struggle with their math homework. Students should be able to have easy access to great teachers explaining the concepts they're struggling with. That's what Brightstorm's free math help solution is all about."
BrightStorm重点关注内容质量,以确保每个用户都有积极的学习经验。质量包括视频制作价值和出色的教学。Brightstorm以高清拍摄视频,并使用视频播放器自动将视频质量调整为用户的带宽。Brightstorm在经过广泛的访谈过程后选择了最初的数学帮助老师,该过程确定了他们都深入了解自己的学科并且尤其参与相机的老师。结果 - 涵盖从代数1到precalculus的每个主题的伟大教师(在学年将推出微积分)。
Brightstorm的Precalculus Precalculus Norm Prokup说:“在开始该计划之前,很难找到一个价格合理的网站,您可以找到所需的一切。现在,有了Brightstorm的数学帮助,学生可以找到一些好的东西。”。
Brightstorm还专注于全面性。该产品旨在满足每次上学晚上完成作业的数百万学生的需求。
“Brightstorm math help really covers everything from Algebra to Precalculus," says Mr. Prokup. "If you're in the high school math curriculum, you can find what you're looking for."
有了如此庞大的免费数学帮助主题库,用户友好的搜索功能对于积极的客户体验至关重要。BrightStorm使用尖端搜索功能显示最相关的搜索结果,并允许用户从搜索界面本身预览数学主题,以便用户可以快速找到满足其需求的视频。
“Creating great math videos is only half the battle," says Mr. Marshall. "Content is only good if the learner can find it quickly, so user-friendly search and browse have been a major focus for Brightstorm math help."
All this adds up to a solution designed to be ultra-convenient for the user who needs just-in-time math help—the exact explanation they need, when and where they need it.
“这有点像您的后口袋数学老师,他们可以向您解释这些困难的概念。”Brightstorm的代数1老师Alissa Fong说。“您可以查看视频,然后一遍又一遍地观看。”
Brightstorm also helps students help each other. If a student has questions about a video, she can enter the question in Brightstorm Answers, and members of the Brightstorm community can respond. And, of course, students can easily share the free math help videos with links to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and email.
马歇尔先生说:“与我们的伟大老师视频一起学习只是开始。”“最终,Brightstorm的免费数学帮助将成为成千上万学习者可以共同学习和学习的基础。”

BRIGHTSTORM LAUNCHES COLLEGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
一流大学的5名热情的大学生加入Brightstorm.com
San Francisco, CA (PRWeb) 11 August 2009 – Today's high school students face a variety of challenges as they make their way toward college—getting good grades, achieving high scores on tests like the SAT and ACT, navigating the college admissions process, and securing financial aid. And then there's the intimidating prospect of leaving home and trying to succeed, alone, in a competitive college environment. A good friend and advisor can often help, especially if that person is already in college and knows the ropes. Toward that end, Brightstorm (www.incakonut.com)是在线测试准备和高中帮助解决方案的领先提供商,今天宣布启动Brightstorm College董事会,这是高中生与一流大学的大学生建立联系的创新方式。
Brightstorm的使命是为世界带来伟大的教学。The company recruits the best teachers in the country, and helps them to create high-quality, video-based, online test prep and high school help solutions. With the College Board of Directors, Brightstorm now extends the great teaching model to peer-to-peer interactions.
Brightstorm首席执行官杰夫·马歇尔(Jeff Marshall)说:“伟大的教学都有各种口味。”“通常是教给您一些东西的最好的人是刚刚学到的人。我们的客户 - 高中生和他们的父母,要求我们提供一种特殊的教学,超越了学者,测试准备和教室,并且帮助青少年有信心进入并在一流的大学中取得成功。最好的老师是在伟大的大学里蓬勃发展的学生。我们的大学董事会只是一群人。他们已经成功地通过了18luck新利客户端下载测试准备,大学入学,学生贷款和奖学金 - 现在他们已经弄清楚了如何在大学中取得成功。”
Brightstorm的学院董事会成立了五名来自伟大大学的热情的大学生:
- Brittany, a junior at Brown University, plays on the varsity lacrosse team while pursuing a major in Economics.
- 加州大学伯克利分校的大二学生克拉丽莎(Clarissa)正在追求电影研究和经济学的双重劳动,同时仍然有时间自愿参加美国癌症协会的生命接力。
- 伊恩(Ian)研究人类生物学,重点是斯坦福大学(Stanford University),同时在乐队中演奏萨克斯管,并探索诸如知识产权法之类的感兴趣领域。
- 加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)的大二学生泰勒(Tyler)与他的学术追求保持平衡,并在乐队中演出并参与了基督的校园十字军东征。
- 扎克(Zak)在加州大学伯克利分校(UC Berkeley)攻读公民和环境工程学位,同时播放终极飞盘并享受湾区的多样性。
Brightstorm College Board of Directors members write blogs, post videos and photos, and answer questions posted on Brightstorm's websites. What do they talk about? Everything from the SAT test and ACT test, to college applications, to financial aid, student loans and scholarships, to how to survive and thrive in college. College Board of Directors members even conduct live webinars as part of Brightstorm's SAT test prep and ACT test prep summer sessions.
克拉丽莎说:“我很高兴能成为Brightstorm的大学董事会成员。”“如果我上高中时我有这样的资源,那我到达那里后会更有信心,并成功。”
Clarissa writes in her first Brightstorm College Board of Directors blog post, "With this blog, I'm not only going to delve into my college experience, but I also intend on reminiscing about my high school experience and the path I took to where I am today, from writing college application essays to finally deciding on which university to attend. I will expose my experiences throughout the years—the anxiety and anticipation; my apprehension and excitement; and my disappointments as well as my highlights. I'll try to not leave anything out. So look forward to my honest and holistic take on the high school and college experience."
“The idea with Brightstorm's College Board of Directors is give teens more opportunity to interact with peers and role models who have succeeded in the way they want to succeed," says Mr. Marshall. "So much of a teen's success hinges on their confidence—in their ability to score well on the SAT test or ACT test, in their ability to write a great college application, in their ability to succeed at a top-notch college, and in their ability to create rich opportunities for themselves in life. By connecting teens with role models, Brightstorm allows those teens to realistically imagine themselves succeeding as our College Board of Directors members are succeeding."

San Francisco, CA (PRWeb) 4 August 2009 – As many parents know, it can be difficult to get teens to take advantage of idle summer hours to prepare for the SAT and ACT exams. Now Brightstorm (www.incakonut.com), the leader in online test prep and math homework help, has created a hefty incentive to study for the college entrance exams—$20,000 in free tuition.

Brightstorm的在线测试准备解决方案有两种口味 - 一个自节奏的产品和密集的为期一周的夏季课程。自节奏的SAT和ACT课程使学生可以在几个月的时间内按照自己的节奏观看视频,进行练习和SAT考试,并通过自己的步伐进行测试准备学习计划。密集的一周SAT和ACT夏季课程为学生的体验增添了更多结构,包括每天概述学生每天应该做的事情,更广泛的报告,更全面的SAT和ACT练习考试以及现场网络会议课程带有Brightstorm的SAT和ACT老师以及其他Brightstorm专家。
Brightstorm的联合创始人兼首席执行官Jeff Marshall说:“在Brightstorm,我们尝试为每个学生的需求提供个性化的解决方案。”“对于自我激励的学生,需要在更长的时间内将测试准备准备适合较小的时间段段,我们的标准SAT和ACT测试准备产品是最好的。我们为SAT和ACT ACT量身定制了夏季课程以及更多与我们的测试准备专家联系,他们想在一个密集的一周内完成考试准备。”
而现在,无论计划如何,Brightstorm都会有机会赢得20,000美元的免费学费,作为学生为ACT和SAT测试做准备的动力。
“We all remember what it was like to be a teenager," says Mr. Marshall. "It's hard to get motivated to study for the SAT and ACT exams, especially in the summertime, when most teens would rather be hanging out with their friends than taking a test prep course. So, we wanted to give teens an extra nudge to prepare themselves for these important exams."
Students can receive an entry in the $20,000 free tuition sweepstakes by purchasing an SAT or ACT course at Brightstorm. Additional entries can be achieved by inviting friends who then purchase Brightstorm's online test prep solutions.

BRIGHTSTORM LAUNCHES SUMMER SESSION VERSIONS OF SAT TEST PREP AND ACT TEST PREP
青少年在Brightstorm.com上享受每日测试准备电子邮件和与测试准备专家的实时网络会议
加利福尼亚州旧金山(PRWEB)2009年7月29日 - 每年数以百万计的青少年参加ACT并进行了SAT考试,以便进入目标大学。尽管这些考试很重要,但青少年通常很难找到时间和金钱,为他们做好准备。现在Brightstorm(www.incakonut.com), the leading provider of online test prep and math homework help solutions has released new video-based SAT and ACT test prep Summer Session programs that are both convenient and affordable.
Brightstorm的使命是为世界带来伟大的教学。该公司招募了该国最好的老师,然后与他们合作创建高质18luck新利客户端下载量的基于视频的,在线测试准备和数学作业解决方案。Brightstorm的最新产品,密集的夏季课程预科课程,是为希望在夏季空闲时间提供优势的学生,为SAT和ACT做准备。
“It's not easy for a teen to find affordable test prep solutions for the SAT and ACT," says Brightstorm CEO Jeff Marshall. "Traditional offerings cost over a thousand dollars and require transportation to test prep centers. At Brightstorm, we offer high quality, customized test prep solutions that students take from the convenience of their own homes, at a fraction of the price."
Brightstorm offers the five-day online test prep Summer Sessions throughout the summer. Each day starts with an email outlining what test prep activities the student should undertake that day—from viewing teacher videos on the best strategies for the SAT critical reading section, to practice quizzes for ACT science, to full-length practice exams.
马歇尔先生说:“夏季课程确实是彻底的测试准备计划。您可以在传统的测试准备课程中获得所有内容,再加上更多的个性化。”“基于您通过该计划的进度,Brightstorm指导您在哪里度过时间。”
学生可以按照一周的意愿重新观看SAT和表演视频。如果他们错过了应该参加的视频或练习测试?第二天早上,他们的电子邮件提醒他们需要完成任务。
Brightstorm's ACT and SAT test prep Summer Sessions also include live web conferences with Brightstorm teachers. During the web conferences, students hear presentations and ask questions about everything from SAT and ACT registration processes to how to choose a college that's best for them.
“Imagine the best test prep experts in the world, the most convenient test prep solution, and a very affordable price—that's Brightstorm's ACT and SAT test prep Summer Sessions," says Mr. Marshall.
Brightstorm从业内最好的教师中选择其老师。Brightstorm的ACT老师Devorah Goldblatt曾是一名前卡普兰老师,他从事ACT考试准备工作已有几年了。她是俄亥俄州克利夫兰市的ACT测试准备公司Advanth Point的所有人,并撰写了两本关于ACT测试准备的书:该法案的卧底指南并提高了您的分数。Brightstorm的SAT老师Eva Holtz多年来一直是SAT考试准备专业人员。在高中时,她在SAT推理测试以及四项SAT II主题测试中取得了完美的成绩。那时,她意识到自己有SAT测试准备的礼物,而16岁的Holtz女士开始辅导她的同龄人。多年后,在哈佛大学毕业后,霍尔茨女士在旧金山湾区成立了自己的测试准备公司Prep Point。
“We are very proud to have Devorah and Eva as part of the Brightstorm online test prep team," says Mr. Marshall. "With Eva and Devorah teaching Brightstorm's SAT and SAT Summer Sessions, students get to learn from the absolute best at an affordable price."

伊娃·霍尔茨(Eva Holtz),SAT测试准备专家,加入Brightstorm.com
San Francisco, CA (PRWeb) 23 June 2009 – Summertime offers busy high school students an opportunity to relax and take a break from their hectic school-year schedules. For many ambitious students, though, summer is the one season of the year during which they have enough time to study for perhaps the most significant exam they will take in their lifetime, the SAT Reasoning Test. About 1.5 million students take the SAT test each year, and achieving a high score can mean the difference between a dream college and a "safety school," hence the intensive SAT test prep activities during the summer. Just in time for the busy summer test prep season, Brightstorm (www.incakonut.com)是在线测试准备和高中帮助解决方案的领先提供商,已发布了一项新的基于视频的SAT测试准备课程,以帮助高中生为SAT考试做准备。
Brightstorm的使命是为世界带来伟大的教学。该公司招募了该国最好的老师,然后与他们合作创建高质18luck新利客户端下载量的基于视频,在线测试准备和高中帮助解决方案。Brightstorm的最新SAT测试准备老师Eva Holtz为Brightstorm的数十支顶级老师带来了丰富的SAT测试准备经验。
Brightstorm首席执行官Jeff Marshall说:“ EVA非常适合Brightstorm模型。”“她确实是一位杰出的老师,她非常清楚地解释了测试准备策略。伊娃(Eva)带有一份简历,使她成为全国SAT考试准备专业人员的前1%。可以使用EVA这样的测试预设。现在,Brightstorm以较低的成本分享EVA的礼物,以便成千上万的学生可以从她的考试准备专业知识中受益。”
Holtz女士多年来一直是SAT测试准备专业人员。在高中时,她在SAT推理测试以及四项SAT II主题测试中取得了完美的成绩。那时,她意识到自己有SAT测试准备的礼物,而16岁的Holtz女士开始辅导她的同龄人。多年后,在哈佛大学毕业后,霍尔茨女士在旧金山湾区成立了自己的测试准备公司Prep Point。
“I'm very excited to be part of Brightstorm," says Ms. Holtz. "I love helping high school students succeed on the SAT. Normally, I can only tutor a few hundred students a year. Now, with Brightstorm, I can help millions of students prepare for the SAT test every year."
Brightstorm offers Ms. Holtz's class in two flavors: a special, intensive one-week SAT test prep program for the summer, and an at-your-own-pace offering.
霍尔茨女士说:“我的SAT夏季会议是学生利用夏天的免费时间来加快SAT考试的好方法。”“在一个密集的一周中,学生观看了大约七个小时的视频,在其中我查看了密钥测试准备策略以及每个学生都需要知道的核心内容才能在SAT测试中得分。他们可以像他们一样经常重播视频就像,确保他们理解这些概念。学生在周一开始一周,以诊断测试来确定自己的长处和劣势,并在星期五结束我的进度。一路上,他们获得了全长的练习考试,很多自我Quizzes以及与我和其他Brightstorm专家的几次现场会议。我每天向学生发送电子邮件,以帮助他们保持正轨,因此超额认购的青少年可以轻松地管理自己的时间并在SAT测试中取得成功。“
Holtz女士课程的自节奏版本是为希望在几个月内分散SAT测试准备活动的学生而不是将考试准备打包到一个星期中的。
马歇尔先生说:“通过在两种口味中提供伊娃的课程,我们正在朝着个性化学习解决方案迈出重要一步。”“并非每个人都以相同的方式学习,没有一个单一的测试准备解决方案对每个学习者都可以使用。如果有Brightstorm,学生可以选择适合他们的SAT测试准备程序,并确信他们总是会有一个很好的该计划核心的老师。”
Holtz女士的SAT测试准备课程目前可在www.incakonut.com。
