You're an innovative thinker, right? Of course you are! That's why you're part of the NTEN community! So, put on your innovative thinking cap, because we have a homework assignment for you.

Ruby Sinreich, longtime NTEN member and all-around fabulous gal, gave me a heads up that the 2010 Digital media and Learning Competition opens up on Friday. Put on by HASTAC and sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation, the competition is looking for the best and brightest ideas for using technology in learning -- including games!

Check out some of the past projects. My favorite is the mobile musical network.

You've only got until the 22nd of January to get your idea out there, so get crackin'!
