Connecting Minds to Learning

Some of my regular readers and colleagues on the 31 Days Challenge have been gently suggesting for a little while that I give some consideration to changing the title of this blog.  As I have mentioned elsewhere, when I first started the blog I was trying to think of a name that was creative and made people curious. So, I searched around and decided upon the name eruditio pro totus which is a rough translation in latin for Learning For All. However this title often confused people and it does not clearly express what this space is about. 

After some reflection and consultation, I have decided to change the name to Connecting Minds to Learning.  I feel this title best communicates the objectives of this blog (which you will soon be able to read more about here).

So keep your eyes open!  The next post that comes into you inbox or on your RSS reader from me will be entitled Connecting Minds to Learning. 

I started my blog because feel strongly about being an advocate for students who learn in different ways.  I want my blog to be a place that people visit to share and learn more about this issue.

So, you would imagine my delight when I received a message from Sue Waters and Lisa Dick, inviting me to participate in the 31 Days Challenge.  I decided quickly to join this group of edubloggers who are collaborating and learning together with a view to becoming better bloggers.

I hope that by participating in the 31 Days Challenge, I can learn more about blogging and transform my blog into a space that people want to visit to share thoughts, strategies, concerns and resources and get in touch with other educators around the globe.

One teacher commenting on Colin’s blog said “I’ve learned more from reading people’s blogs and following their links, than in any professional development classes that I’ve had recently.” This is a powerful comment, and is one of the reasons why I am keen to be part of this exciting learning community.

I will be writing my thoughts about this experience here.
