DESCRIPTION

This is a presentation I did as part of a TeachMeet@PLANE on the 25th of July, 2012. I talk about why I find it essential in having a Personal Learning Network (PLN) for the work that I do. Make sure you look at the presenters notes, in order to make some sense of it all.

It is suggested that Bacon connects to many actors because he acts in many different kinds of roles and ensemble films
