SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

In early March of 2009, I was reading my local newspaper, The Staten Island Advance, and came across an article on Twitter. As I read the article I learned more about Twitter and its capabilities.

I wrote a post on December 28, 2009 where I talked about tools that I thought would have a break out year. Here is an example I use a lot where I asked people to give me their thoughts on what a PLN (Personal Learning Network) means to them. I want to be hip. So here is my reflections on 2010 and my predictions for 2011. How did I do?

Do they add to the conversation?
