What does that mean? I'm not sure I want to know... Either way, I've always been a hoarder - of food, of books, of clothes, now of information - the web is clearly my enabler. Someone needs to stage an intervention ;) I actually do have glasses of water all over the house. What does that mean?

What's a reader? I don't really get to it anymore. I count on my PLN on Twitter to keep me posted on what's important and I try to do the same for them. I agree with Will that what's important will float to the top. I chuckled when I saw David Warlick post the Ellen Hawaiin chair video clip earlier today as I posted that a few nights ago. But David doesn't follow me. That's okay - it's a dominoe effect and what's important, intillegent, amusing, and educational will float to the top. I need to go to my reader and mark this as read as well as the other 1000 posts I probably have read half of already thanks to my PLN. Reader? What’s a reader? I don’t really get to it anymore.

I am a classroom teacher. There are not enough hours in the day to be up on the newest, greatest, hottest plus make copies, mark report cards, attend about five meetings too many and return a few parent phone calls. My initial response was to dive into the midst of the river and try to keep up with the strong currents. It was relentingly swift and overpowering. Now I know it is wiser to float-keeping your head above water, with a few strong people around you in case you need assistance. My network is a great bunch of lifeguards.
