Reflection on Leveraging Tribe for Self Actualization

I have finally watched and listened to the video and below I give some of my thoughts and ideas that came from the video.
First off the video can be watched here

Over the last year I have been trying to build a PLN using curation through Scoop.It and through my blog at www.teflideas.co.uk I also have a  facebook page and on Twitter.

Each of these areas have benefits but after watching the video I have begun to understand why I have felt that my PLN was a bit like watching someone else's conversation. I have found interaction and commitment to a goal through my PLN difficult. I freely accept that most of the problem is mine and my reluctance to "put myself out there" but from the video it is clear to me that it is that next step that I want and need.

Have I got the knowledge and skills to talk with some of the eminent minds in our industry I'm not sure but I now have a clear goal of what I want my PLN/community to be.

So to answer Dr. Nellie's question:
What did I get from the video?
I now have a clearer idea of what I want to contribute as well as acquire in terms of ideas and knowledge. I now understand on a different level where I want my PLN to take me.

Hi everyone and welcome to my moodlemooc blog.

Here I hope to share my experiences of this MOOC and make some new friends. I must confess I have never used Moodle so I'm going to need all the help I can get.
Regards to all.
