From Network to Neighborhood: A New Definition for PLNs

I get to think through PLNs in a new way. Instead of being nodes in a network, I would encourage us to be people in a neighborhood. And rather than demonstrating the far reaches of our network, we should be introducing one another to the “locals”. Those that push us and help us create change. In this video I introduce you to three people in my neighborhood. Special thanks goes to the #etmooc community for helping me to craft this idea and for asking the right questions.

Who are the people in your neighborhood?

Would you consider introducing them to the rest of your “network”?

Time Should Be a Companion, Not a Bully

This one let me respond to an engaging concept from Michael Wacker. He is mad that Time has been bullying him and taking away his capacity to spend time with his family and do things about which he is passionate.

But, time can be a companion if we translate our projects into conversations instead of hours.
