This has been a very, very good day. Put to rest a task at work that had been particularly difficult to accomplish for the past 3-4 weeks, which is great, and then the flood of emails coming in regarding today's 2005 iTest Nationwide Awards Announcement.

I don't have nearly as much time to pursue media attention as I did last year, but unfortunately last year we didn't have nearly as much of a compelling story as we do this year, with a team of 5 students across multiple schools and states claiming the championship, etc. The media will catch on eventually if we keep doing the right thing.

Which brings me to the most exciting news of all: the iTest franchise will be expanding AGAIN in 2007 with the launch of the iTest Debate. Not giving away any details just yet - not that there are many - but I'm extremely excited about the proposed format and the implementation of technology into yet another domain of academic competition. More to come.
