6.1.2 Personal Learning Network - 6.1.3 Reflection

My PLN is not complete but a work in progress

For personal, work and educational purposes I have a set of sites, apps, tools, rules and habits that make my online experience as simplified as possible. Privacy and security concerns has always been my reason not to embrace an ecosystem online however since DLT my thinking has changed.  

• The Google Ecosystem sync's devices with application services under a joint login, so the range of expanding google tools, widgets and service features will become a focal point for contributions to my teaching and learning development.  
• Channels of information are streamed into various Google+ services which can be tagged, filtered and managed for reference, development and future sharing.  
• Blogger is a great source for categories of interest which will encourage me to express my online voice.  
• Online content can be filtered and shared within Google Circles where points of interest can be explored as a collaborative effort in a limited access area.  
• Google Drive is fast becoming necessary for documents, presentations etc for anywhere, anytime access.  This would eliminate the feeling of 'information overload' when attempting to remember what storage device I saved the most recent version of a file.
• I'm also keen to use more creative web 2.0 tools like Cacoo which is a great online drawing tool that I used to create my PLN.  
• Finally, EIT's Moodle will be accessed for work and study.  I'd also like a wiki space for my own teaching content and a Wordpress site for my portfolio in the future.
