Time for PLN or me...
Trying to find time for me to build my PLN has been overwhelming. I love to read, and I love to learn but my attention spam is the same as a five year old. As soon as I sit down and start reading a blog, I open a new window and check my emails, and I open another window to check my Facebook. So as I am reading my email I remember I was reading a very good blog on something I really like so I go back, and then a take a few minutes to reflect on how will I use or apply my new knowledge, meanwhile I decide to answer any mails I've got or comment on pictures or friends status' and go back and forth back and forth. I look at the time and I see that I have been on the computer a couple of hours and have not accomplish all I had intended to at the beginning, so my challenge is not making time for me to create my PLN, but to learn how to do one thing at a time so I can get the best out of it. I need to take my time, because now I have Facebook, Twitter, 2 blogs, and access to many other social networks. I know this will help me in many ways to become a better teacher, maybe also a better person but I refuse completely for it to take over my life. We all have to learn to take time to learn, to experience, to grow by using networks but we also have to remember not to be on it all the time. Lets not forget to enjoy life and not overlook something important or simple things because we are on twitter or checking Facebook or reading emails.

Hopefully you will continue reflecting and sharing your thoughts with us through your PLN.
