2008 Digital Media and Learning Competition is now open

Hi, Classroom 2.0ers,

We would love to have more teachers know about and apply to the 2008 HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competition, which just opened last week. This year's theme is Participatory Learning. Participatory Learning includes the many ways that learners (of any age) use new technologies to participate in virtual communities where they share ideas, comment upon one another's projects, and plan, design, advance, implement, or simply discuss their goals and ideas together.

We know that there are people in the Classroom 2.0 network whose lives could be changed by winning a DML award and we want the right people to be able to take advantage of this opportunity.

Thanks,
Mandy
