PLE
A Personal Learning Environment
Try this post from Christopher D Sessums
From his Blog
Interestingly I came across another post almost simultaneously
about the limits to PLE or PLN (Personal Learning networks) as they seem to be called in the states.
From David Warlick’s Blog
But it’s that key idea that the web is a source of questions, answers,
discussion that responds far more quickly than traditional media forms.
Which is why you need a personalised start page in one form or another.
Using Netvibes, Pageflakes, iGoogle you can draw in the feeds, sites, maps etc that interest you into one convenient place.
See the Netvibes page on this blog.
Also this discussion from Sue Waters.
There is a now a wiki with an ever expanding series of diagrams explaining people’s ideas about PLEs.
