You walk into the room and they are all there. The greatest resource people in the world, educational professionals, lecturers, visionaries, innovators, and authors. You start conversations with them and they can be as long or as short as you want, and as in-depth as you have time for. Then you discuss ways to teach various concepts, learn about resources that others are using, or maybe even have conversations that challenge the way you think about education and teaching.
This is what a P.L.N. (Personal Learning Network) is all about.
