Evolving vision of technology professional development

I've always had an active PLC online, but since I began at my current school, it has become especially important to me.

Hi Tami! I wanted to leave a comment on your great blog post (!!!) - but comments were closed for the post.

Oh... that session---I wan't happy with how it went. But there were a number of very dynamic people in the audience, including you.
I hope the site proves useful to you, that you grow to feel a member of this learning community. Very much looking forward to your participation!

Hi Tami,
Refresh my memory about the session in which we met....
Yes, please look around, explore, post some responses.... and give us some feedback on how you find the place!
Very glad to have you.
Whew---snowing!!! A lot of flights have been canceled today. I'll be driving to Wisconsin with my brother, then leaving for Detroit tomorrow.
Welcome! Join in!

Hi Tami,
Welcome, and enjoy. Love to hear your vision for a new implementation of tech training. (I'm heading more intensely that way next year and I don't want to be seen to be busy, I want to be effective, whether seen or not!)
