This year brought a very different social learning experience for me, almost as though I was viewing the conference through bifocal lenses. I try to keep my options open, while I want to catch up with old friends, meeting new ones and developing my PLN (Personal Learning Network) is just as important. Wow, is that not the case.

Formal courses only account for about 10% of how we learn. Remember this.
