John,
May I utilize your outline of places to cultivate your PLN (with my own spin on each tool) from this blog post: http://www.educationrethink.com/2011/07/sustainable-start-develop-pln.html in a PLN presentation I am giving. It is a great outline. Of course, I would give you credit for the info. (I had already found the Sketchy PLN video!)
Thanks,
Kathy
You bet! I'd be honored.
