Hi everyone, week 1 went beyond many of our expectations, and now we are starting week 2 of #evomc15. In the Dave Cormier scheme of things (on how to cope with MOOCs) we are past the ORIENT stage and into DECLARE for week 2, which is where people start fitting in and expressing that fit through blog posts and YouTube recordings. For many of us this has been a natural progression, with many blogs having emerged already in Week 1.
One way to DECLARE is to to TAG your posts #evomc15. You can make sure we find your posts by tweeting their existence using that hash tag. Then we will find them on our tagboard (try and get your posts to appear there, at
https://tagboard.com/evomc15/search)
I have updated our word document to include Week 2 here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yRbAzdndRFncpckurKLf5s2b95Z1-Tksclmw1A8Jq7Y/edit. Anyone registered user of that doc can add content there if they wish.
For now we can consolidate what we started in Week 1. We will set up a series of regular server sandbox meetings; Jeff has tentatively agreed to be available Fridays at about the same time as last week, but we will try to find additional times. On Jan 25 1400 GMT Marijana and Filip Smolčec will host our Sunday show (with me and others who may be free at that time). We will schedule EVENTS for this community to put our meetups in our calendar.
If you are planning to join the Canvas Minecraft for Educators MOOC it starts Jan 26 and you'll need to enroll. It could give us additional perspective.
We have already shared phenomenal perspectives on our topic amongst ourselves and we look forward to more in the weeks to come. Your moderators will put forward a program for development based on what we've learned so far, or perhaps the "community as curriculum" will move us forward in the direction participants decide collectively.
It's all part of the game. Congratulations for having survived Week 1. Day dawns now on Week 2.
