The Connected Courses<\/a> facilitators list reads like a Who’s Who of my favourite rabid connectivists.\u00a0 How could I not dip in? Ever since PLENK2010 I’ve been hooked by this interaction with clever educators.\u00a0 It changed the way I approach my job as an adult literacy and basic education instructor.\u00a0 Fortunately for me, my superiors like the change. Adapting connected learning to the needs and capacity of ABE students is a challenge. I keep hoping to add others with an Adult Literacy focus to my PLN.<\/p>\n

Essential Skills is on my plate as well this fall. I’ve enrolled in a for-credit course, so #ccourses will be a mix of lurking and more obvious contribution.\u00a0 Guess which gets first priority when time is at a premium. At least I’ll keep in touch with some of the content but especially with the people and ideas at the forefront of this flavour of edu-innovation.<\/p>\n

I registered weeks ago, but when I checked the action this first afternoon of the Pre-Course<\/a> – aw Drat! Did I already miss the first live sessions? Now I’ll have to find time to watch the re-run on YouTube<\/a>, or better yet on the embedded YouTube player on the pre-course page<\/a> where I can catch up on reading at the same time.<\/p>\n

That’s it for a first post.\u00a0 Let’s see if I can connect my blog now using RSS and Tags.<\/p>\n
