- If you have any spare change, give a few dollars to the DS106 Kickstarter project. They may have exceeded their initial funding goal, but Jim is going to write up some ideas of what he would do if he had more money and post them to the Kickstarter site. I’m guessing he can come up with an idea or three.
- If you are a large for-profit education company—say, an LMS vendor or a textbook company—give $5,000 to the DS106 Kickstarter project. At that level of contribution, in addition to all the benefits of the lower levels, you’ll get a mention as doing a really swell thing on the fabulous e-Literate weblog.
- If you are a mobile apps developer interested in education, enter the Desire2Learn Build Something That Matters challenge. It doesn’t even have to integrate with D2L. This is a great initiative by Desire2Learn, and I will be one of the contest judges.
- If you’re within driving distance of the greater Boston area and have time on April 12th, come to the NERCOMP Northeast Open Initiatives event in Norwood, MA. I will be a panelist. Not that anything interesting has been happening in educational open source lately, but I’m sure we’ll think of something to talk about.

Crazy enough, Instructure promised to pledge $5000, how nuts is that? When E-Literate blogs, people listen! Thanks for the nod here, Michael, #ds106 is a big fan of yours 😉

I’m thrilled, Jim. I can’t wait to see what you do with the funding.
But let’s keep going.
