Another great PLN story! I have a presentation for 200 on Wednesday on integrating digital media and social networking! South Florida is a little warm and humid this time of year, but I'll buy you a cold drink (something with an umbrella). :) Totally cool! Lee Cory,

Everyone is so welcoming and willing to help. I think there is a feeling amongst people who are open to networking that we are a community and that we want to share our ideas. I have never felt like the people who have helped me expect anything in return. I feel like I give back to the community when I pass along what has been taught to me. Eventually (hopefully!) those people will continue to learn more and continue the cycle. I think I speak for most of us when I say there is nothing like meeting someone in person from our PLC. I cannot even imagine how great it would be to get to present with someone that is in my network. It was just pure luck that Kelly and Cory were in close enough proximity to pull this off. Like most people my PLC is spread across the world. Why not use the tools that we promote to pull this off on a more regular basis? Why not use Skype or Twitter to sell the idea of social networks to our colleagues who are still having trouble buying into technolog and/or networking? If we can demonstrate the power of PLC's we will have a better chance of willing over converts. This story needs to be the first of many examples to share.

I wonder if the people who really appreciate the connectedness of social networks are the same type of people willing to give up some of the acknowledgment that goes with being a sole-presenter? @woscholar – I absolutely agree about Kelly being willing to share the stage.

PLN at its finest. Also, I think one of the greatest things here is that Kelly did not feel threatened about sharing the stage for his presentation. Goes to show, the collective is stronger than the individual. Beauty. Awesome example of the connected world. PLN at its finest.

Thanks for sharing! So many elements here... Kelly's inclination to tweet where he was, you were online to see his message, you were able to free up your schedule, you had expertise on the topic which Kelly was presenting, etc. Wait until everyone has Twitter (or something like it) on their cell phones... A very cool story indeed. Thanks for sharing!
