I’m not going to tell you not to take a break. It’s summer, and the livin’ is easy–or it should be.

But I suggest you slow down…rather than disconnect completely. Summer vacation is a perfect time to MAKE time to:

  • join or explore Twitter and commit to following it for a while
  • practice making that video you put off during the school year
  • read an article from Brian Crosby’s diigo collection (or any other PLPeep)
  • finally learn about Creative Commons
  • don’t just skim blogs, read them and comment. Here are a few PLPeep blogs randomly chosen from around the world to get you started:

Kim McGill

Mary Megan Howard

Leslie Accardo

Tania Sheko

Ed Allen
