CLMOOC Postcards: An Invitation to Write Out

In our CLMOOC community, we periodically send postcards to each other as a way to stay connected on paper, with a stamp, and mailbox delivery. Some of us do it more frequently than others, and I have lapsed a bit on getting postcards out the door.  (See a post I wrote about why we do […]

And … they’re off … more #clmooc postcards

We’ll be exploring Connected Learning principles in relation to the postcard project […]
