It was 10:00 a.m. in Arizona and of course I had three different people pick that time to come in to the office to chat, so I'm glad to see that it is recorded. I think PLEs have a lot of potential, but like everything else it will be difficult to avoid the hype followed by the disillusionment when they don't deliver right away. PLEs will need time to develop along with the way we view learning. I think there is also starting to be some political push-back in some organizations against the constant rush of new innovations, especially ones that may shift power and control in the organization.
