Finding PLN time in the Summer...

One of the focuses (foci?) of our summer tech academy at Castleberry was developing and utilizing our PLN, personal learning network, to become better teachers.  I listened to our local tech guru, Kelli Kelsoe, talk about carving out time for ourselves to explore, learn, think, and expand; and I remember thinking "sure that would be nice but I'm busy entertaining my 3 kiddos home all summer long and my honey do list and traveling to visit family and etc..."

Fast forward a week, I find myself sitting here in the tire shop waiting for an hour(ish) and thanks to the wonders of cell phone technology I spent 30 min reading for my personal spiritual growth, an article on the SCOTUS cell phone decision, and was about to engage in Clash of Clans and other time kill apps on my phone but thought better of it and hit my PLN.  Three articles later, I have a great idea for the fall and an interesting project idea.  Like everything good in life, I have always had the time, I just have to be intentional and creative in carving out that time.  Capitalize on those "time kill" moments that litter our schedule and you can find the time, have a great summer...
