Teachers are subverting education policy rubbish to ensure children have creative learning experiences! Good! #eduquestion time
Possible follow-up on last week's question

Basically, use the term "MOOC" very loosely (if you must use the term at all), and realize the technologies can bring K-12 classrooms together: forming connections, communities, and collaborative learning experiences while still adhering to a curriculum. Don't fret over terms like "massive" and "open", but do fret over what your learners are understanding and doing!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I stayed for the "after show" about edX. I was introduced to it by following Dave C to the MakerPhysics exercise and now am waiting for mooc.org to invite me to try it out.
