Okay, my initial PLE needs a lot of work. I am trying to learn Gliffy at the same time so that is challenging. I will post this one now so that I have something up as a start. Perhaps I will try my ideas in cmap as I learned a bit more about that in Digital Literacy.

Here is my initial version:

catching up

I am finally caught up with the posts for this course. There are so many more students and each is more prolific than in my Digital Literacy course so it has been hard to catch up when starting the course late. It is also hard knowing where to comment as the topics have been well discussed already. It is so important in online courses to start dialoguing and getting engaged otherwise it is too easy to fade into the background. Now that I have started this blog, that should help maintain my focus. So that in itself is a good reason to blog, even if others may not be interested in what I have to say. The discussions on blogs vs journalling - public vs private reflections - have been interesting. I guess the next step is to aggregate my classmates' blogs so that I can keep up with their new posts without having to open up each one separately. However, is this possible? Have we all chosen blogging sites which allow for that?? Sounds like I definitely may have to do my first presentation on aggregation so I can find out if this is possible.

New beginning

This marks a new direction in the extension of my digital footprint. Will anyone beyond my courses stumble across this blog and pay it any attention? It's purpose is to afford me a place to reflect on what I am learning about emerging technologies and their application in education. So far, I am learning how many different accounts one must create in order to even start to maximize what Web 2.0 has to offer.

More to follow.
