Learning is powerful when teachers connect students’ personal interests to real world opportunities.
Curriculum designed using Connected Learning principles focuses on using new digital and networked technologies to expand opportunities for young people.

Instead, Connected Learning puts learner-centered and experiential methods at the center of technology-enhanced learning. More importantly, teachers learn essential connected learning design principles in order to create meaningful learning opportunities and connections with their students, colleagues, and communities.
