I am excited to engage in this class. Although I have been involved in the field of education for the past 10 years in various capacities, I have never been immersed in the field of instructional psychology and technology. I know there are many things that I would like to learn and that this is the right time to do it.

* What is a PLE?
- a personal, tailored environment customized to preferences of the learner, portal for collecting and sharing artifacts (photos, emails, data, music etc.), controlled by the owner/individual, set your own objectives - flexibility according to changing demands/interests of self
* What are the elements of a PLE?
- exists over time, can collect sources, readings, friends, collaborations
* How is a PLE different from an MLS?
- MLS is limited to course only (owned by institution, not individual), PLE is more interactive - google group (unified approach)

- blog, wiki, website
- facebook can be a tool to create a PLE (a group with similar interests)
- a place where you plug yourself into your own learning environment (doesn't have to be digitally connected) but it needs to connect with other people, & that's easiest online
- mix of several tools that help you organize your ideas (iGoogle)
- often called Personal Learning Networks

Nice notes Tiffany. Few corrections on what you have down for me though. Should be "worked" opposed to "working" for LDS church. Also I am in the PHD program not the MSC.
