Thank goodness for #blogjune. I can talk wedding here. If I post on my other blog, close family and friends will likely see. They generally don’t read what I write here. Fellow #blogjune -ers and PLN, you’re getting an exclusive. Six weeks out. Still relatively calm. But there is A...
A bit of a delay posting yesterday’s thoughts. I wrote this while waiting for my flight to take off from Perth, on my iPad which I tend to only use for travel these days. Our flight arrived back in Brisbane after midnight, and after driving for most of the day,...
It’s about time I joined in the conversation about blogging. A colleague has called me out. And yes, I have a contribution. This isn’t the first time I’ve put thoughts down on this topic over this month. I’ve been scribbling almost daily. Only now I think I can put them...

Further to my last blog post about the concept of a Personal Learning Network (PLN), I thought I’d look at the stages through which we tend to go through in adopting a PLN to be part of our ongoing learning and development. Stages of PLN adoption by Jeff Utecht on...
