So, back to this whole "connectedness" thing and what makes it work. So far, I'm thinking:
1. Being connected isn't about quantity, it's about quality.
2. There are different kinds of connections and that's okay- but know who to turn to for what.
3. Connections can come from unexpected places so keep an open mind- but don't be afraid to trim off connections that aren't working for you. (I'm looking at you ello and Google+)
4. Cultivate a combination of face-to-face and digital connections, and try to make them lasting ones.. Join the board of a professional organization. Start a CFG. Arrange a Tweet-up or attend an Edcamp with an eye towards creating lasting professional relationships.
So what about you?
