Providing teachers with the tools for creating a PLN can be so enabling. GIving these teachers the tools to connect, share and learn with other educators will inform their teaching and learning practices. No top down stuff here! Give teachers a chance to create and control their own digital footprint and they will be able to model and do the same for their students... Great meeting you at the TEDxNYEd...

I'm still on a education high from Educon as well. Great to hear that your teachers are into learning more about Personal Learning Networks out there. Couldn't agree more with @plugusin and I think I remember that tweet in real time! When teachers are out of the room, they need time to own what you want them to learn and then support them along the way. Love the two missions you set out and the positive extra credit. Thanks for sharing. Great blog post and congrats on the two days that ‘didn’t suck’. I’m still on a education high from Educon as well.
