Hey Yo! Youth Outlook,

You need to check out my blog on my "Book Synopsis" and my blog on "About Jane"... my book is a book of poetry focused on helping people especially teens in dealing with life's obstacles and knowing that they are not alone.

Hope you enjoy!

Peace and God Bless!

CALLING ALL YOUNG INNOVATORS! DIGITAL MEDIA COMPETITION IS OPEN!

I want to make sure you are all aware of the 2008 $2M HASTAC/MacArthur Digital Media and Learning Competition. (http://www.dmlcompetition.net , deadline October 15th)

The theme of this year's Competition is participatory learning which we broadly define as using new digital media for sharing ideas or planning, designing, implementing, or just discussing ideas and goals together.

I'm sure your youth supporters/audience have a big idea on how to use digital media and technology to further learning and collaboration and to make a positive change in the world. We want to hear their ideas! Our Young Innovators award is targeted to U.S. applicants aged 18-25. We want to help them get their ideas from the "garage" to implementation.


I hope those of you that have those big ideas cooking will consider applying!

I've posted the full rfp below, but you can also check out the full details at http://www.dmlcompetition.net.

And follow us on Twitter @ http://twitter.com/dmlComp

You can email me at mandy.dailey@duke.edu with questions.

Best,
Mandy
