• 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 dont 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)
