The Program for Online Teaching Certificate (affectionately titled potcert*) officially started yesterday.  And I played hookey.  I can’t regret it.  On one of the last warm days of our short, northern summer, it would have been sheer ungratefulness to stay inside hunched over a computer.  Instead my wife and I went dirt biking far from the madding wifi.  Here:

It turns out not unrelated to potcert after all.  I have ammo for embedding (map above) and linking (photo above).  I’ve also posted my photo album from the trip on FaceBook – I think it’s open to anyone.  Educate me.  Let me know if you still have to sign into FB to view it.

*I must have a strange mind, distracted by the most mundane connections. I keep musing over the consequences if unwary facilitators had chosen to tag this sMOOC “POT” instead of “POTCERT” in recognition of the fact that not everyone is after the CERTificate.
