Get ready for the month of October. Along with pumpkins and falling leaves, its also Connected Educator Month (CEM). CEM was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education and its partners as part of the Connected Educators initiative. CEM offers highly distributed, diverse, and engaging activities to educators at all levels. Based on its success in 2012 and 2013, the initiative is poised to reach even more educators in 2014, through expanded partnerships and enhanced programming.

On the CEM 2014 website, they have a multitude of tools including a CEM starter kit, an online edConnectr to connect educators with similar colleagues and online communities, blogs, book clubs, and a calendar of events. The calendar of events seems most helpful with webinars, events, collaborative projects, and many more!

Get involved and get connected!
