posted message: When I started p2pu it was scary to post my thoughts and reflections (you can find 'post comment' in the top right-hand corner of each task), but the feedback you get is very helpful. I would say this P2P support is the most important for your development and learning! In the 'Introductions' (under Tasks) you will post some ideas about your Learning Resource, from our previous course you can find some examples of how Web Tools can be used in your own learning (http://p2pu.org/en/groups/edutoolkit/content/full-description/) and in this course you will try to help others to learn!

posted message: EduToolkit will be shaped into an NGO to achieve the mission (still under development) and some content will be mirroring the Change MOOC (http://change.mooc.ca/) similar to a study group or cluster of participants.

posted message: On Monday 23/1 we are entering the second week of the eduToolkit course at P2PU. There has been interest in where this initiative for 'Teachers Open Online Learning' originates from and who is behind it. eduToolkit started as an idea during my 'Eastern European' scholarship, with the aim to 'leapfrog' networked literacy in developing countries. The “Education Modernization Project" in Bulgaria was closed down due to lack of funding, but it was clear that in-service teachers still want to develop and keep abreast with new technology. I now encourage all participants and followers to declare your own ‘learning objectives’, then the Opportunities (2.1), Challenges (2.2) and Changed Practice (2.3) will become more clear.

posted message: Welcome to EduToolkit spring 2012! The first four weeks will focus on Orient - Declare - Network and Cluster - Focus. Every participant and follower are welcome to identify changes to the traditional way of teaching and new skills for professional development. There is no 'right way' to participate, my belief is that 'Activity = Outcome' and 'Action = Event'. Let me know how the course will create value for your!

Title: Innovative Teacher & Education Coach

My professional career started with my qualifications in environmental chemistry and marine biology, followed by working as a teacher with specialization in didactics and ‘Information and Communication Technology’ (ICT). I’m now focusing on my thesis for my Master of Arts and Social Science in ‘Adult Learning and Global Change’ (ALGC), with the working title Navigating Distributed Knowledge with the use of Web Tools.

In 2012 I've started eduToolkit a ‘Grassroots Organization’ promoting ‘Teachers Open Online Learning’ (TOOL) for Professional Development. Our aim is to provide a free teacher training, where the desire to learn is fully met by the opportunity to do so. We investigate the concept of ‘The Networked Teacher’ and find out more about ‘Networked Literacy & Fluency’ in education.

Our first online course "eduToolkit - Promoting Teachers Open Online Learning" [TOOL] (16/1-24/3, 2012) investigated what new skills and capacities teachers need to develop in 'Networked Literacy & Fluency'. We then shared some thoughts on some criteria for badges/certification as a ‘Networked Teacher’. This was a peer to peer course at P2PU and resulted in our community badges as well as our mission statement.

In the second online course "eduToolkit - The Use of Web Tools in Networked Learning" [#CNT12] (16/4 – 4/5, 2012) we used examples from WikiEducator using the eLearning XHTML editor (eXe). We also created the challenge “Certified Networked Teacher” and developed a skill badge that can be use within the Mozilla Open Badges Project.

I then participated as one of the co-facilitators in "Empower Your Personal Learning (for teachers)" and "ePortfolios for Teachers"

The upcoming module is called “eduToolkit - Syndicated Education in Distributed Learning Environments” [#ANT] and the next module will be about expert skills as a networked teacher with “eduToolkit - Central Node in Learning Networks" [#ENT12]
