Our PLNs are a great source of learning. We all benefit from the rich lessons shared by our colleagues. Still, if we do not press beyond the surface communications, it is unlikely that deeper and more complex issues will be shared, discussed and resolved. Real problem-solving requires steps far beyond initial knowledge and comprehension exchanges - toward the higher levels of Bloom's. This more sophisticated type of communication moves far beyond a "tweet," beyond a blog, and into new forums that enable a different type of exchange. In the end, if serious conversations fail to become productive solutions, we risk "spinning wheels" --and who has time?<BR/><BR/>Your insight is keen, Cheryl. I'm so glad you press forward for deeper communications!<BR/><BR/>Have a Merry Christmas!Beth Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819933894839367350noreply@blogger.com
