As part of participating in the Connected Courses cMOOC, my blog will be linked to the Connected Courses blog. Just having my blog listed in proximity of Howard Rheingold's blog definitely puts some pressure on keeping up with my blog on a regular basis. From being part of #BlogJune, I know that it is difficult to find the time to write a reflective post every day and have been trying to maintain writing at least one post a week as my goal.<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to being part of Connected Courses though and learning from colleagues everywhere.<br />
<br />
Funny how in the past, I would have been fortunate to share ideas with colleagues in my own school district on district professional development days that were scheduled only once per quarter during the school year, and now I can reach out to colleagues from across North America and from around the world by just turning my laptop or iPad on and writing a blog post or sending out a tweet on Twitter. It is truly amazing what a globally connected world we live in today!Chris Turnbullhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04431983878081038453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767287968555152221.post-63035219701408902392014-08-30T20:05:00.000-05:002014-08-31T01:04:57.312-05:00Participating In Connected CoursesI am looking forward to participating in Connected Courses over the next several months.<br />
