Vance's Multilieracies was my gateway drug to MOOCs…he's still pushing. Seriously, thought the course is a great prep — tools, essential skills (especially tagging). He was one of the first to emphasis it importance and how it crosses over between social media platforms, connects (there's that word) again.

At the end of my second Multiliteracy, 2010, Vance announced to us that an interesting course had started that we should think about trying — two weeks in but to worry. That was PLENK2010. I was so turned around and just plain lost that I had to take the next one just to figure them out. There are parts of that one I am still digesting…

What kept me from going under was one of the organizers putting on the course blogging a weekly recap. That was Dave.

Maybe I should go back and blog lost weeks for EVOmlt too. I did tag a few to do double duty… but then again, embracing chaos means letting go, which includes not worrying or feeling guilty about it.
