This month of October, many educators around the world will be celebrating Connected Educator Month.

This is a month full of activities to establish or deepen our online connections with others. Many of us have found that being “connected” has made our teaching and learning practices deeper and more rewarding, and that’s what this month is all about.

If you are new to Connected Educator Month, how can you participate? Here are a few ways.

• Sign up for the CEM newsletter.
• Check out the Connected Educator Starter Kit.
• If you know a teacher or administrator who isn’t yet “connected,” help them take one small step to get started.
• If you aren’t on Twitter, join!
• Watch the CEM calendar for lots of great events, and take part in a few that resonate with you.

However you participate, make sure to share with others in your personal or professional networks. In particular, think about sharing the benefits of being connected with someone who may not have already experienced them! That will make learning richer for all of us.
