Thanks to technology, we can take learning online and collaborate with educators around the country and the world. Plus, we can do many of these events or tasks in our pajamas, or even by the pool! Below, we have collected some Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) as well as open courseware, so you can choose your own learning adventure this summer. ## Increase Your Math Knowledge ###### [Mathematical Mindsets](http://learn.stanford.edu/mathematical-mindsets-registration.html) Stanford University Summer 2017 > “This course unpacks the teaching approach that was used in an 18-lesson intervention that raised the achievement of students learning mathematics by the equivalent of 1.6 years of school.” ###### [Visualization for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education](https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/edgerton-center/ec-210-visualization-for-mathematics-science-and-technology-education-spring-2016/) MIT Open Courseware Self-paced ###### [Maths Puzzles: Cryptarithms, Symbologies and Secret Codes](https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/maths-puzzles) Weizmann Institute of Science and Davidson Institute of Science Education Starts May 29   ## **Explore Pedagogy** ###### [Effective Group Work Strategies](https://www.canvas.net/browse/missouri-ust/courses/effective-group-work) Missouri University of Science and Technology Self-paced > “This course will provide educators with strategies for developing, implementing, and assessing student group work.” ###### [Engaging ELLs and Their Families in the School and Community](https://www.coursera.org/learn/ell-families) Arizona State University Starts May 29 ###### [Get Organized: How to be a Together Teacher](https://www.coursera.org/learn/together-teacher) Relay Graduate School of Education Starts May 15 ## Integrate Technology In The Classroom ###### [Computer Games and Simulations for Education and Exploration](https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/urban-studies-and-planning/11-127j-computer-games-and-simulations-for-education-and-exploration-spring-2015/) MIT Open Courseware Self-paced ###### [Blended Learning: Personalizing Education for Students](https://www.coursera.org/learn/blended-learning) New Teacher Center, Silicon Schools Fund, Clayton Christensen Institute Starts May 22 > “In this course we will explore the different models of blended learning and dive into key issues that impact students, teachers, and schools.” ###### [Powerful Tools for Teaching and Learning: Digital Storytelling](https://www.class-central.com/mooc/2170/coursera-powerful-tools-for-teaching-and-learning-digital-storytelling) University of Houston System Starts May 22 > “Introduces educators to digital storytelling and explores ways to use digital stories to enhance students’ learning experiences.”   Do you use [ST Math](http://www.mindresearch.org/stmath/)?
