Why do these 23 great things?

I'm always looking for ways to challenge my online skills, especially since I'm teaching a few courses online and working with students who are internet natives!

There's not lots of money on my community college campus for professional development travel, and so a free MOOC is a great way to go.

Finally, I'm curious about how other online courses work - and whether they do or not. I'm looking forward to this adventure and already understand how easy it is for my students to "forget" they're taking an online course!

A New blog!

Yes, I know. Just what the world needs . . . another blog. I'm creating this one three reasons.

One, it's part of a professional development project I'm doing called "23 Great Things for Professional Development" at http://cpd23.blogspot.com/2011/05/all-about-23-things.html.

Second, it's a chance to share my lost and founds, joys, ideas, fun stuff, etc. with friends, acquaintances, strangers, nobody, and myself.

And third (because I love threes!) it's a challenge to write on a regular basis.
