Diving Deep or Just Skimming the Surface?

I have been been following the Tuesday cohort bloggers and am impressed with the creativity, diligence and great writing that I see. How you all get that done with your hectic work schedules and busy personal lives is amazing.
Our most precious resource these days is time and we never seem to have enough of it. I am struggling with finding new ways to connect with media specialists to have the really deep discussions that the PLC groups are having within the schools across the district. Given the number of meetings and the size and diverse schedules of our media peeps, it is difficult to find a time when we can meet and have deep discussions on issues that affect our work life with students. We are trying Elluminate this week, but even distance learning takes time in the schedule and that seems to be what is most lacking. So much to learn, moving so fast, when do we get to go deep or don't we?

Diane I agree--on both sides of the comment. I am diving deeper and I am just skimming the surface. I would love to work with colleagues at a MILI meeting and ask what each person's favorite thing has been. Then we would have a real resource for help. There has been so much that is new, so much that many of us may have used before, we all have an interest and grasp that is different....
