Making Learning Connected 2014

I have just signed up for the Making Learning Connected MOOC, a free online learning experience that begins June 13 and ends August 1. Each week begins on a Monday with a "make cycle" that is introduced through the email newsletter, and from what I understand, there will be opportunities for collaboration and sharing, but the amount of your involvement is ultimately up to you. I believe the project can be joined and/or observed at any point by subscribing via email, and already its hashtag, #CLMOOC, is active. The event is offered through Educator Innovator and powered by the National Writing Project, whose goals are to connect educators who re-imagine learning as "interest-driven, peer supported, and oriented toward powerful outcomes."

Notice the use of PowToon, free online presentation software with animation, for the following promotion video:

I'll be sure to report in on the experience, and if you're participating in the MOOC, let me know!
