    The Digital Media and Learning Competition, now in its third year, is an annual effort designed to find — and to inspire — the most novel uses of new media in support of learning. In May 2010, the Competition recognized 10 projects that employ games, mobile phone applications, virtual worlds, and social networks to create learning labs for the 21st Century — environments that help young people learn through exploration, interaction and sharing.

    This year’s DML Competition was launched in collaboration with President Obama’s Educate to Innovate initiative, challenging applicants to create digital learning labs via games, mobile phone applications, virtual worlds and social networks that promote building and tinkering in new and innovative ways.

    The winning entries are the start of how we can coordinate the reality that kids can learn anywhere, anytime today. Learning today doesn’t stop, if it ever did, at the classroom door, and digital tools and games can help us reimagine learning in an always-on world.
