#CLMOOC #Dailyconnect: The Random Connector Generator

Everyone knows the impulse to recycle and re-use is a good thing. So, too, is this site. It was first set up to support Connected Courses, but is now part of projects for Connected Learning MOOC (CLMOOC), Write Out, and beyond. If you want to get a surprise  … use the Random Connect Generator.

Just click here and make your way to one of the Daily Connect ideas at this site. We don’t know where you will end up but we are pretty sure you can find some neat ideas. Feel free to share out with friends or within your network. It’s all good.

Happy Connecting!

Testing Out IndieWeb With Poetry

This was also posted to
/en/indiewebpoetry.

For this Connected Writing Activity — which is taking place rather randomly as a test of something new, so pardon the odd nature of the post — we are testing out Greg’s idea for IndieWeb syndication across blogs. He has a “sub” set up for poetry at IndieWeb, so let’s try that.

Here’s what you can do to test it out:

• Write a poem — about connections, perhaps, or whatever strikes your fancy
• In the HTML view of your post, add this:<p><em>This was also posted to
  <a href=”https://indieweb.xyz/en/indiewebpoetry” class=”u-syndication”>/en/indiewebpoetry</a>.</em></p>
• Post your poem and see if it ends up over at the IndieWeb: https://indieweb.xyz/en/indiewebpoetry

Here is a poem (written for Wendy for her GitHub Poetry Project)

Hidden lines

– snippets –

tumble in,

beyond sight –

words like this,

create tension.

We disassemble creatively,

for no rules may apply.

We bite sound.

We snip code.

We write.

Did it work?
