PROFESSIONAL/PERSONALLEARNING ENVIRONMENTLiz Diamond

My PLE was fragmented before I set about to think about it and organize it. The new digital desk top environment that I have created allows me to easily access the tools I have decided to use to develop my Personal Learning Network, communicate and collaborate with people in my network and also have other information readily available to me. Most importantly this is available to be from any computer, anywhere as long as I can get internet connection.

Following are some screenshots from my iGoogle page

From the MAIL tag I can access my Gmail account. This is where messages come in from my CoPs.

I have some Reflect and Connect blogs embedded here at present

From the Lizzyslinks tag I could access my Twitter account,Del.icio.us account, my Lizzy Learning links blog

and GoogleReader. I have since changed this by simplyDragging the apps to other tag pages.

The Lizzyslinks tag now gives me access to facebook, GoogleReader and Twitter.

Within the Home tag I have embedded 3 apps – Calendar, Clock and Google Tip of the Day

I also have a fun and games tag which I have embedded a birthday book app and a Hangman game.

I intend to continue to develop and rearrange my iGoogle pages to suit my needs.

I also intend to review and think about how my digital PLE can be improved to keep me both informed and connected.
