The National Professional Exchange

“When all think alike, then no one is thinking.” – Walter Lippman.

Would a National Professional Exchange be a viable option for AltProDev? Do you think this system could work? Would it add to the conference experience?

Thanks for your sharing your thoughts on the #SAchat post on #AltProDev @StevenHarowitz

Check out @nancywhite ‘s Full Circle Associates on Communities of Practice (CoPs). Great way to review and consider how you develop your #PLN and #AltProDev

Not too long ago, I shared Thoughts on my PLN (personal learning networks) and how I engage in #AltProDev. My PLN challenges me to think, grow and engage with a variety of communities online and IRL.

Here is a great video created by a fellow research, Bethany Bovard (@tektrekker) that describes how her PLN Functions to support her learning and development. 

Word on the street is that Panel Picker for #SXSW has been extended. Have you had the chance to vote/comment for our #AltProDev Panel yet? If not, please do. Thanks!
