The <a href=\"https:\/\/the12appsofchristmas2016.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">12 Apps of Christmas 2016<\/a> is a short free course that will be held over twelve consecutive weekdays, starting Dec 1st.<\/p>\n<p>This is the third year for the 12 Apps of Christmas. The 2016 iteration of the course is a collaborative effort. Educators from Ireland, UK, and America have come together to produce twelve (12) case studies, each one showcasing a different mobile app with descriptions of how they have integrated it into their own teaching, learning, and assessment practices. It is hoped that reading and reflecting on these real stories will inspire participants to explore mobile apps that might be of interest to them and their students.<\/p>\n<p>You should register for this professional development opportunity if you want to connect with like-minded individuals, have an opportunity to expand your <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Personal_learning_network\" target=\"_blank\">personal learning network (PLN)<\/a>, and start powerful conversations with others interested in this emerging field.
