Hi Everyone, 

Welcome to K-12 Teaching for the 21st Century. We are excited you are joining us to learn more about this very important topic. We hope this blog will be a way for you to connect with other participants and learn more about important course information. This blog will also be a space to discuss and reflect on the concepts being addressed in the course. 

If you are interested in learning more about MOOCs, Rick released this report through Michigan Virtual University. In the report Rick discusses the history of MOOCs including the current research focused on MOOCs. He also provides an overview about how MOOCS have been conceptualized and discusses the value of MOOCs for teachers and students. We hope you check it out and consider the value of this MOOC for teachers and students.
