I am an EFL Teacher Trainer in

I am an EFL Teacher Trainer in Mexico. And jumpstarting a PLN here is a much more delicate process because technology is a little further behind as well a collaborative concepts. I started my teachers first with a Ning social/professional network because it had a ready-made network with lots of historical activity to dig into. Then after they were comfortable with that, I moved on to Twitter and RSS, then blogging. Why not blogging first? Because I wanted then to feel around their new PLN and see some examples of blogging first. This coming year, we plan to tackle podcasting, digital stortelling and other such fun stuff. If I can get them into my Lively , that would be the icing in the cake. When all is said and done, it is Twitter that is the glue that holds the other pieces together (and maybe just microblogging in general now that I have become a Plurker (karma approaching 60 thank you very much). While I have my own Ning where I started my team, , I probably would have used Classroom 2.0 as a launch point. Frank

It seems that this along with Jabiz's (@intrepidteacher) "resignation" this week (and who knows what else over the year or so) that we have much to discuss as a community. Where is best blog or Ning to do this, to continue with this dialog and shape future directions?

Agree with Mathhew above. I do

Agree with Mathhew above. I don't know that she deserved any certain form of treatment or not. But the facts are that she needs to be more professional, learn to interview, be in touch with the audience's profile (too focused on self and trying to intimate a personal attachment with Zuckerberg), and be more engaging. Basic stuff really. Had I gone to all that expense and time to attend, I would have been irritated a bit too. But, no need to mistreat people, either. Not sure if this will help her book or not; it doesn't prod my interest to buy it that is for sure.
