This is a reflection about setting up my
personal learning experience (PLE). Setting up a PLE is much like
shopping. The process takes time, some research, and lots of screening
for choices. Once this is done you have quite a product.
My advanced PLE is now a one stop visual
shop for my projects. The click and go experience of a PLE is satisfying
like having dinner waiting after a workday. I would suggest you try to
put your own PLE together so that there is no concern that you can manage all
of this technology that is multiplying by the minute in a comprehensive, easily
manageable PLE.
You can see three screen shots of my PLE
above. I have several screen shots of my
iGoogle webpages. I can “program” my web
page to keep the information that I think is important for me. The Internet program can do a lot of amazing
applications, but the primary goal for my PLE is to help me organize all of the
data that I am collecting using gadgets and tabs.
People in my book club have resisted
technology because they report feeling overwhelmed by all of the data coming
in. Without the organization of this
data, I can empathize with the lack of wonder and progress that technology
represents.
Some adults have a difficult time
adapting to new ideas. Children lack the discipline and knowledge to adapt
appropriately to the changing times. As
teachers we are required to prepare children to utilize the social media, web 1.0
and web 2.0 applications within our current fluid world.
