Got Design Chops?

Psst. Yeah, you, the one with the blog and the students to inspire. 

Have you heard about what's going on over at the "DY/Dan" blog?  No, not the broken arm thing.  It's the other one.  Yeah, "The 4 Slides Sales Pitch" life story contest he just announced!

No, haven't heard about it yet?  Well, let me tell ya: everybody's doing it and it's gonna be huge! 

The upside?  Oh, you can sure that the upside is gonna be crazy edu-blogger-iffic!

Disclaimer: Along with Scott McLeod of the "Dangerously Irrelevant" blog and Dan Meyer himself, I'll be a guest judge once all the submissions come pouring in.  Look forward to seeing what you come up with!
