Comment by malcolm chrystal on December 23, 2009 at 2:03pm: So here i am in the early stages of creating a personal learning network. As a teacher in a small school (165 kids) where you are the ONLY JH science teacher, the only Bi12 teacher, and having a science department of 2.5 people in total...it is tough to get a lot of ideas flowing.
I welcome any and all ideas and will be glad to put my 2 cents in any where I can!
Hope the winter break is giving you all lots of rest and recovery!
