Just the Beginning
Thanksgiving is my favorite US holiday - food, friends, family and appreciation. This year, I happily added Connected Courses community to my roster of what I am profoundly grateful for.
Connected Courses was launched with the energy and goodwill of a handful of facilitators who shared the values of connected learning, equity, and the open web. I could never have imagined how connections and networks could have blossomed and fanned out from these beginnings. Reviewing the analytics from Jamieson of @dmlhub, I see a picture of conversations and connections bubbling merrily across the open web, through twitter, G+, Facebook, Diigo, disqus forum, and hundreds of blogs. What is a nightmare from a data analytics point of view is an ideal outcome for those of us seeking to build open networked learning communities. It’s about seeding the beginnings of relationships, ideas, projects, and courses that will take root and blossom in a widely distributed set of contexts, communities, and institutions. The official course site and offerings are clearly just some among many passage points in growing and nurturing this process.

In 90 seconds, here's what people came up with. It's a great start!

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? I really don’t get it. From what I can see the last one is the how-to. It’s like we have been […]

A breath of fresh air
(1 min read) Yesterday I welcomed a guest for the day. We had both studied at Northwestern University a lifetime ago and we passed many times in the hallways of the practice building, went to each other’s recitals, and even had classes with each other’s teachers. Jonathan is a professional tuba player. He took the […]
