This summer I “heard” about the CCK08 course through my network of “connections”. Thanks to Antonio Fini, who seems to be a sort of “hub” in the network of relationships, since also other people mention him as source of information)

I enrolled. The course started 3 weeks ago. I read some of the Texts indicated in the Wiki of the course, followed the discussions in Moodle and in Google Groups, visited many times the course Blog, watched the faces of my collegues in Facebook.

I must admit I’ve been LURKING a lot, before starting to partecipate actively…

Lurking even in the Italian community, before trying to contribute…

Now I begin to “speak”…. hoping that it’s not too late ….I remember such popular slogan for formal education and I think that it fits even more to informal education!!!

So, let’s start

P.S: with me my son Lorenzo (in the photo), who will allow me (when sleeping) to follow the course )
