The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is sponsoring a Digital Media and Learning Competition, and I'm thinking that Blogging Pedagogy should apply for some monies. There is $2 million available, and there are two types of Awards: Innovation and Knowledge-Networking. I'm thinking that BP could apply for a Knowledge-Networking award. Here is a description of what they're looking for:

The field of digital media and learning has already produced a number of brilliant ideas that deserve wider dissemination, circulation, discussion, translation, application, articulation, and customization. Not every inventor/developer is a good knowledge-networker. Knowledge-networking takes good ideas and circulates them widely, taking full advantage of the Web's potential for collaborative thinking. It enables communication in which many can contribute, shape, and share.

Knowledge-networking is “do-it-yourself” field-building, collective matchmaking across communities of those who have and those who seek information, so that each can teach and learn from the other.

So, what could BP do in this regard? We've been talking for a year or so about a podcast - maybe even a videocast. What other ideas are out there?

I know school is about to start and that we're all frantically planning classes, but take a minute to post your thoughts about how Blogging Pedagogy could be re-imagined. Awards range from $30,000 to $75,000. THINK BIG.
