Change is the law of
life. And those who
look only to the past or
present are certain to
miss the future.
John F. Kennedy
In a time of drastic
change it is the
learners who inherit
the future.
Eric Hoffer
The best way to predict
the future is to create
it.
Peter Drucker
The future’s so bright
I gotta wear shades.
Timbuk 3
I never think of the
future - it comes
soon enough.
Albert Einstein

Why?
Why is a personal network important to educators?
The most important aspects of personal learning networks for me are
the ability to connect, communicate, and collaborate globally.
The network is always on 24/7/365 and always willing to share ideas
and offer help.
It is a way to build relationships otherwise not possible.
