I retired from the classroom just before joining this PLN. You all inspire me so much I want to go back to work (some days!).
I have thought about it frequently

definitely thought about finding a school where my colleagues have the same passion to learn and teach as my PLN. I feel isolated sometimes

I'm a teacher/librarian retiring in June. Online interaction convinced me that decision to work online after retirement is the right one.
I'm a classroom teacher (and nurse, librarian, custodian, disciplinarian) and have always considered job options but LOVE where I am now.
I've thought about going to a different school, but I'd still want to teach math.

Great! I have 2 job openings. I'm a tyrant but you're looking, right? Send me a private plurk. ;->

madamesenora
says
me! I'm starting a grad program in ed tech. What do I do now? Teach middle school foreign language!!
I have, but it was because of politics not by eye opening by PLN even though they have been.
I liked the blog post. And did agree with it for the most part
BTW we have missed you on plurk!
I've always spelled it ya'll
Dschink S. Good point, but I'm referring specifically to digital online communities. Ones with instant gratification and feedback

Not me. I love my kids. Have been challenged to try new things though.
