So, how YOU doin’? It’s been a few weeks since the Connected Courses sort of ended (not really) and Laura wants to “check the pulse” of people in the community. Are you still breathing?

What do you mean, you don’t have time to write a play? Of course you do. We’ll just … shorten it up a bit. For today’s Daily Connect, write a 15 second play. What? That’s right. There’s a whole genre of writing in which people write a play designed to be performed (maybe with the […]

Twitter Lists are one of those powerful connecting ideas that often fly below the radar. The Twitter lists that people make and share are not always immediately visible (go to profiles to find ‘em).

You may not have noticed it lately, amid all the hubbub (We love that word!) and sharing, but out here in the great beyond, we writers form constellations. We connect to make stories. We hover in the imagination. We are all stars. For this Daily Connect, let’s make that idea a bit more tangible. Let’s […]

Now, listen, don’t get too carried away with this one. We don’t want to read any headlines of professors getting kidnapped or anything like that. In fact, as your attorney, we suggest that if you are one of those folks who dives in a little too deep, perhaps this Daily Create is not for you. […]

We’d like to thank everyone who has participated in any of the Daily Connects this month of October. While the daily posts will now come to a stop, you are welcome to steal, borrow, remix any of the ideas that have been shared here through crowdsourced efforts. So, where can you go from here? Well, of […]

Everyone knows the impulse to recycle and re-use is a good thing. So, too, is this site. It was first set up to support Connected Courses, but is now being revamped for Connected Learning MOOC (CLMOOC), Write Out, and beyond. If you want to get a surprise  … use the Random Connect Generator. Just click here […]

  We’re nearing the end of the Daily Connect. (I know, I know .. the box of tissues is over there, in the corner of the blog). For today’s Daily Connect, why not reflect a bit at your own blog or writing space about the concept of the Daily Connector and/or the Connected Courses? Some questions you […]

Still, we’ve got ourselves a bar and grill where you can walk through the door and everyone will call out “Norm!” (if your name is Norm. If not, then you might be a […]
