Over the past 6 months in the M.ET program at BSU I have discovered I love online learning. My true passion is History, specifically American Military History. I hope to teach the subject someday at the High School or Junior College level (Perhaps virtually?).meetup.com, this is a great resource for anyone who has an interest in anything and wants to find or recruit those who share that interest. You can go to http://www.meetup.com/Military-History-Enthusiasts/calendar/14425338/ to see an example of how this network is used. It has many tools that can be used in an educational setting. You can create a group and invite others to join (those that you may be teaching in a course) and welcome others who share an interest in the topic. It could be a great way to give your students outside perspectives on the topic you are teaching. It is truly an open learning community.
Stephen, meetup.com looks like a perfect network to help you with your goal of teaching American Military History online. Not only will you learn more about the content and make contacts, you can set up your course or module here.
