The last week of class : (

What was the most valuable aspect to you of creating a Personal Learning Environment?
The most valuable aspect to me about creating a PLE was first and foremost, learning how to do it (set it up) and then actively use it. Until this class I was oblivious to the world of blogging and PLE’s. Now I feel competent that I could do this all over again, and most importantly, do it in my classroom!
What did you like least about the Personal Learning Environment?
This is probably a silly thing, but I was always forgetting what password I had for which website, etc. So I sometimes had trouble logging in, but that was my own fault, not my PLE’s. I wish I had known how to navigate the PLE a little better, but I think because of the time constraints we had in the class that we learned enough to be semi-successful in using all that PLE’s offer.
Comment on the likelihood of your using a blog or wiki for personal or educational purposes in the future.
I will most definitely use a blog (and maybe experiment with a wiki) in the future. In fact, I have already started another one to document my semester abroad in New Zealand during Winter 2009. I think it would be a wonderful asset to a classroom to have blog. You could help parents stay informed, post pictures of the class (with parental consent of course), and help children learn to use the technology.
