These are just a few of the bizillion tools available • Start with 1 and add slowly • Make sure you have an organizational tool to capture all your other tools • Be sure to include time in your day to review your incoming ideas and thoughts • You are in charge – don’t let the buffet make you ill! • A learning network consists of the entire set of resources that you use to answer questions, provide context and illustrate processes. (David Wetzel, 2010)
