PLE Pause, Learn, Educate - Purposeful. Link. Embody

Snoqualmie Falls Speacock Slide Show

I am trying to focus on preparing for the upcoming NAIS conference. Our librarian, Kathy Johnson, and I are presenting on Personal Learning Environments.  Kathy has been phenomenal putting the slides together, gathering research, exciting ideas, and trying to keep me focused.  She embodies the PLE for me on so many levels.  Even as I write this with the intent to Pause I realize that she is already challenging my thinking! 

Kathy has been using the imagery of mountains - a perfect one for the Pacific Northwest and learning environments. The dance of the mountains and rivers are seen in the power of waterfalls.  My challenge is creating the activities that will make the presentation personal for the attendees - the waterfall activities that will soar deep down and then disperse to others.

My thoughts come back to QUESTIONS? and CONNECTIONS! Who are my best connections on learning? My own iGoogle site, of course! It is my waterfall of innovation ideas and resources!

On Belay!






I realize that there is so much information to sift through and I've forgotten to listen to my own PLE resources.
