This phenomenon of joining a public learning network and soon seeking greener grass is not limited to education, innovators always face frustration. Connecting and learning just often transforms us, if not just reminds us, that we are innovators not content with status-quo.
Without the support of like-minded people, which I would never have had without virtual worlds and web 2.0, I would literally have gone crazy in my pay-the-bills position.
Ironically, however, having this outlet has helped me stay content even happy in my current position since I realize it neither defines nor restricts me any longer. Connecting this way provides a new outlet for personal passion and innovation in spite of the wet blankets and ignorance all around.
