When I was hangin’ with Alec Couros (@courosa) this summer at BLC14 in Boston I was thrilled to hear about this “Connected Courses” MOOC with an all star cast (Michael Wesch, Helen Keegan, Mimi Ito, to name a few and …wait for it…the THREE MAGI : Alan Levine (@cogdog), Jim Goom (@jimgroom) , and Howard Rheingold (@hrheingold).
I’ve been dabbling for years, as a high school teacher, to not only develop a truly connected course (Howard interviewed me about that this year), but really want to know more of the nuts and bolts. I totally embrace the “control and manage your digital presence” ethos articulated so often by the #ds106 crew as well as the #showyourwork movement epitomized in #ds106 but made uber popular this year with the release of Austin Kleon’s book of the same title.
I really need and desire to know ore of the mechanics of crafting a really relevant, connected course and helping students become empowered to cultivate their digital presence. Right now I am particularly interested in Higher ED (even though I currently teach Juniors and Seniors in high school) and hope to get some good ideas for a keynote I’m doing in December.
In the meantime, I’ve watched the (very entertaining!!!) pre-show by “Click”, “Link”, and “Embed” (that still sounds naughty)…and did some sketches with my favourite app Paper by 53.
Finally, in the spirit of connectedness I shared these sketches on Twitter and tagged the boys …(attribution is paramount)…Was so flattered to see these tweets:
So of course I drew me, working on a pink caddy 🙂
I’m a busy girl but can’t wait for this course!!!

Yay! #ccourses has a sketchnoter! Your visuals add a dimension. You are really the quintessential co-learner, Amy. Yes, I’m sure you have some things to learn from our faculty. I’m equally sure that we are going to learn a lot from you.
Pink sketch power! Doing this with Jim and Howard was easy because (a) it’s fun and (b) it’s shared experiences we’ve had.
Thanks Amy for noting your take-aways. It’s gonna be a great ride in that Caddy (I love the fins)
Hi Amy. Thanks for all the connections and potential connections. Decidement I am finding much convergence of reflection, practice and I discovered 53 Paper this summer. Pink seems to be colour of the day 🙂 (See blog to understand)
Hi Amy … Thank you so much for the sketches. I love them! It was a great way for me to review highlight of the first recording. I look forward to your images and reflkections as we progress through the course. … Laura
