October is Connected Educator Month!

About the Connected Educator Project

Millions of educators and others around the world have participated in hundreds of professional development opportunities as part of Connected Educator Month (CEM) the past two years. Originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education and its partners as part of the Connected Educators initiative, CEM offers highly distributed, diverse, and engaging activities to educators at all levels.

Based on its success in 2012 and 2013, the initiative is poised to reach even more educators in 2014,
through expanded partnerships and enhanced programming. In 2014 Connected Educator Month became collaboratively owned by the global connected learning community. Connected Educator Month 2014 is being organized and launched by the American Institutes for Research in partnership with Grunwald Associates LLC, Powerful Learning Practice LLC, the United States Department of Education and Digital Promise.

You can expect an intensive 31 days of connected learning focused on teaching and learning in four countries (USA, New Zealand, Victoria, Australia, and Norway) all holding simultaneously their own Connected Educator Month and using a common calendar. There will be hundreds of organizations leading a variety of events around seven core themes. Theme leader organizations in the USA will offer kickoff events and programming for each of the themes throughout October.

For easy access, I will post daily online learning activities here on this blog, copied from the Connected Educator's Toolkit.
