The opportunity that these tools provide for me to relate with colleagues from around the world in real time is inspiring. I recall my experience as a young student with the PEACESAT system. How far we have come since those days!

The thing I took away from the session was more about how to help our students and how to help each other. PLN's are, for me, about sharing. Before networking sites were available, I felt like I was searching Google aimlessly looking for help. Now, I have dedicated people who are looking to share just like me. Someone made the comment about being "isolated" and is now able to find someone who he/she can collaborate with. Our students can use PLN's the same way. It gives them a voice. Some of them need that. Again, great session! Hope to attend one in the future! For me, too, it was an enjoyable first!

I've seen Sue tweet and post about them but never taken the time to attend before. The "main points" I took away weren't so much about PLNs -- I'll have to re-listen sometime to really digest it -- but about how great this community of lifelong learners is. I wasn't at all sure what to expect from an Elluminate session but it had a great pace, many different viewpoints, and multiple ways to collaborate and feel a part of the unconference. Can't wait for the next one! Last night was the first Elluminate session I’ve attended. I’ve seen Sue tweet and post about them but never taken the time to attend before.
