Creating a PLE

The document introduces the concept of personal learning environments (PLEs) and discusses how to create one using Pageflakes. It notes that learning has become more networked as information is stored across different sources and accessible from any device. An effective PLE allows learners to gather and connect information from various human and electronic networks in order to facilitate their learning style. The document recommends Pageflakes and other tools like blogs, RSS readers, and social bookmarking services that can help users build a central repository for organizing and sharing their personal files, links, and connections.

- 9. Connectivism Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources. A learner can exponentially improve their own learning by plugging into an existing network. Knowing where to find information is more important than knowing information. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate impacting the decision.
