This fall, #OSSEMOOC has been facilitating some mini-MOOCs to help educators become connected.
So far, we have posted a 3-week course called Twitter for Absolute Beginners and a second 3-week course called Twitter for Self-Directed Learning.
Today, we start Twitter for Education Leaders, and a second iteration of Twitter for Absolute Beginners.
You can sign up for all of our courses here. You can also just work through the resources at your own pace on the sites. They will remain up for anyone to use at any time.
If you are starting courses today, you will receive an email before the end of the day outlining how to get started. The message will come from ossemooc at gmail dot com, so please watch for this in your junk mail if you do not receive it.
Congratulations on starting on the path to becoming a connected learner. Please share this information with colleagues who want to get connected.
Welcome to #BIT15!

Thank you to Brenda Sherry and Peter Skillen for inviting us to take part in their amazing learning event.
OSSEMOOC will also be supporting a blogging cafe at #BIT15. Drop in and visit for a chance to have some quiet time to share your learning or to get some personal support in learning to blog.

Thanks to Peter Skillen and Brenda Sherry for leading the #CE15L chat last night, digging into the topic of “Learning”. We have many thoughts and ideas to pursue as we continue through our knowledge building together this month. Please register here if you want to join the conversation.
