As part of the final newsletter of CLMOOC 2016, we compiled a list of ways for folks in CLMOOC (even on the periphery) to remain connected throughout the year, and beyond the summer. I wanted to share that list here. Throughout the Year – There are many ways to stay engaged with CLMOOC’s connected community […]

Getting Fused: Blending Images and Making Art
I’m enjoying a new app that my friend, Simon, shared with the CLMOOC community. It’s called Fused and it allows you to blend together images (and maybe blending videos on images? I need to explore that but I think Simon did it). We have a postcard project going in CLMOOC, too, and this week, I […]
Resonation Points 2: Poems and Comics
flickr photo shared by TheAlieness GiselaGiardino²³ under a Creative Commons ( BY-SA ) license Yesterday, I wrote a bit about seeking out the writing of others and creating something new that honors those writers. I called it Resonation Points. This morning, I want to follow up on that with two more resonation points: one that […]
Resonation Points: Practicing Noticing and Connecting
We’re hoping that when the 2016 version of Making Learning Connected MOOC kicks off on July 10 (sign up at the CLMOOC webpage or just jump in when you see things unfolding on Twitter, G+ or wherever it unfolds) that many participants will be “noticing” each other’s work, and “honoring” it through remix or comments […]
Slice of Life: A Handwritten Note in the Book
(This is part of Slice of Life, a weekly writing activity hosted by Two Writing Teachers. In March, the Slice of Life Challenge happens. Every day of March, writers will find small moments to write about. You write, too.) A neighbor passed along a book about youth sports to my son, telling him to give […]
Let Wind and Chance Plant the Seeds of a Poem
There is a great scene in the wonderful picture book, Weslandia by Paul Fleischman, in which Wesley, the outcast boy who decides to build a new civilization for summer vacation break, has an argument of sorts with an adult neighbor. Wesley has been prepping a garden, and the neighbor tells him to plant tomatoes, Brussel […]
#DigiWriMo: Time to Make the Comics
(I had written this to be posted yesterday but the horrific events in Paris stopped me in my tracks. A post about comics did not seem appropriate. Forgive me if it still isn’t time. — Kevin) I had to take a day off on Friday for a doctor’s appointment (my eyes are good) and as we […]
Post-#CLMOOC-cards: It’s Not the Technology; It’s Us
Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in the technology and all of its fuzzy coolness of opportunities available to us with apps and websites and more that we forget that it is not about the technology at all … it’s about the connections that technology facilitates. Heck, even I forget. And then I get reminded […]
#CLMOOC Book Recommendation: The Invent to Learn Guide to Fun
Josh Burker does a fantastic job of explaining, step by step, how to create and make wonderfully amazing projects in his new book, The Invent to Learn Guide to Fun (Classroom Technology Projects). I’ve had a Makey Makey set and a Squishy Circuit set sitting in my room for almost a year now and after […]
A Rhizomatic Knit (A Gift from Sarah)
I received a package in the mail the other day, all the way from Scotland. One of my connected friends, Sarah, had knitted me a winter hat, with a sort of Mobius Strip theme to it. Air mail packages from Scotland do not come every day, and it is a testament to the power of connections […]
