My MOOC Journey – Week 5
This week’s focus was on the reign of Elizabeth I which took in the events such as the Spanish Armada and the execution of Mary Queen of Scots.
It has been great to hear from others who have started or finished their own MOOCS.
Mrs Dillon has completed her MOOC on ‘Understanding ADHD’, a great refresher and reminder for her within her role.
Aman in 8Elm has also started a MOOC with the computer science e-club which looks at computer systems and how they work.
As I approach the end of this six week course I will start looking for a new course to sign up to. Do email me on [email protected] if you have started or even finished a MOOC.
