Professional Learning Communities

"Boyhood, like measles, is one of those complaints which a man should catch young and have done with, for when it comes in middle life it is apt to be serious."
For some time I've heard my wife who is a guidance counselor talk about her system's PLC and how it was nice to have others lashed to the same ship trying to row in unison, buds as it were sharing common problems and goals. I had thought that it was great for her, but there weren't any more Video Production teachers in my system.  Obviously I didn't see the forest for all those damn trees.  They is an entire world out there that is a mouse click away and it hit me like a snowball fired from a potato cannon that I could simply create my own.  Don't curse the river, build a bridge.  So here goes, I have a couple of associates in other systems that I will start with, hopefully they will be able to bring more into the PLC.  I've set up an account on Delicious.com to socially share video production instruction websites and resources, that will hopefully help get the ball rolling.  Lets dive into the deep end, hold on, here we go!
