I'm seeking collaborators on a grant proposal for the current round of HASTAC/MacArthur Digital Media & Learning Competition, due October 15th. Here's a link to a one-page program summary that describes who we are, what we do, what our value proposition is, what we're asking of partners, and some source of funds and costs bullets for the work we're doing on educational and cultural exchanges and online project-based collaborations between US students and students in northwest China:

New School Student Ambassadors, Inc. has assembled and supports a group of networked collaborating organizations and educational professionals, and provides active learning, project-based educational programs using a variety of open source, social media tools that:
• Improve language skills
• Enhance cross-cultural creativity, innovation and problem solving by developing critical thinking skills
• Develop collaboration and online communication skills
• Build story telling, persuasion, and presentation skills

For more information about New School Student Ambassadors and what we're doing regarding exchange programs using social media tools, see the following websites:

If you know anyone who has innovative ideas for using social media, audio, video, activity management systems, computer assisted language learning, computer-mediated communication, etc., I'd welcome an opportunity to get feedback and talk with you about this project proposal.
