The plan is to join this MOOC and associated network as a cohort. The syllabus is here.
The initial task is to create a blog (for recording observations and posting responses to the various prompts and activities). You can use http://blogger.com or http://wordpress.com or http://tumblr.com or http://posterous.com. Then register that blog at pedagogyfirst.org and tag all related posts #potcert11
