Yesterday morning when I woke up, I started to think about what I needed to do for the week ahead. One task was to plan a staff meeting which would move the staff on in their thinking about the power of blogging.
Before I even threw back the sheets, I reached for my smart phone and sent a request out to my PLN: "Collecting wise "whys" about
#blogging for staff mtg; with kids, as reflection, as eportfolios. Can you help? Links apprec. Use hashtag & RT."
Tweets came in over the next 24 hours as people read and retweeted. I connected with some great global bloggers.
My Twitter connections even sent me their own presentations by Dropbox (

@BeLchick1) Wow!
Stephanie Thompson then encapsulated my thoughts in a blog post of her own:

So thanks PLN and thank goodness for the technologies that help me connect. I can mull over a problem, debate an issue, fill a hole in my knowledge, share a success, share a problem. And all before I get up in the morning!
