Beth Kanter is helping spread the word, and forwarded this email to me – it’s a competition for participatory learning. They’ve opened up the competition to international applicants, including India. If there are any bloggers and networkers in India (and other countries mentioned) who reach the nonprofits and educators who are using social media and doing participatory learning, do apply and spread the word!

This is a lovely competition, but from where i come from where our institute runs on solar power and when its cloudy we cant use the computers. With a super slow dial up connection just enough to send an email i think promoting our campus with social media is a years away. I wonder if other institutes even have half of what we have solar power etc.
