A few years ago, a group of educators banded together online to share ideas about learning for themselves and for their own students.
The summer of the northern hemisphere happens to be the time when public school teachers have time away from their teaching duties, well, except for all the planning they do for the following school year.

The well-respected National Writing Project initially provided support to get this Connected Learning Massively Online Open “Class” going.
It quickly became less of a formal class than many MOOCs which are offered through universities.
Projects are open ended and frequently informal. Start when you can. Do what you are able to do and want to try. Use the skills and tools you have, but try to be open to learning new tools (routinely no cost online and even FLOSS – Free Software) so you can add to your set of skills/tools and have new options available for use in your own classroom setting.
To get involved, you do not need to be a teacher. That’s just the core profession of this group of people eager to be “Creative Learners”. CLMOOC SITE
