The best part of going to education conferences is often the people you meet and the conversations you have with them. This can often be more stimulating than the keynote presentations and other breakout sessions. Wondering through vendor halls is one thing but finding other people passionate about your same area of education can be an invigorating experience. Creating you own Professional Learning Network or PLN can help increase your own learning and teaching by connecting you to the best of the best in your field. The shift to the interactive world of web 2.0 technologies has made this change possible.
