2011 Blogs and Posts

Being fairly new to Twitter and following blogs (approx. 9 months), I have not yet built my PLN to the extent that I envisioned. However, there are a number of blogs and posts which have extended and challenged my thinking regarding a variety of issues, and provided irreplaceable professional development. I have a great appreciation for those who continue to put their thoughts out on a regular basis.

I have not created a “Best of…” or “Top 10…” list, as everything I have read has had an impact in one way or another.

Below is a sampling of a few blogs and posts which I have had the good fortune to come across, and have left some kind of mark on my thinking and, as a result, how I operate.

Thanks for posting and Happy New Year!
