Barry Bakin replied to The PL Team (d&e)'s discussion 'Changes...if the ones coming are the ones discussed in the NC Summit, BE EXCITED.'

What's your role? Network Creator (NC) or Admin?
I'm a teacher in adult education. I've created one or two experimental networks for teachers related to a particular subject that never went anywhere, but am now developing one intended to support a state-wide wide professional development initiative that will have greater exposure.
