winning

After the close of the first Digital Media and Learning Competition, I wrote a number of posts discussing ways to make one's applications as competitive as possible.  Here's a reblog of one of those posts, called "Writing to Win."

Yesterday afternoon we launched the 2008 HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competition. What makes a winning Competition entry? There are no rules, but you can read more about digital media and learning and participatory learning and improve your chances. Here's the number one thing you can do: Start your application now, check out all the requirements, figure out what you need to do, and make sure you apply considerably before the crush of the October 15 deadline. I warned you last year about this. But this year the application is more complicated and you will need time. Believe me. Check it out!
