I used the three components as the main levels: People, Resources, Tools. Then each related webmix is given an identifying title. Basic holds sites of major use If there is not a way to outline the index, I may re-name the tabs, e.g. Resources-ESL, Resources-Libraries, Resources-Instruction.

Editor's Notes
- Hafa Adai. I am Femy Wesolowski. I present today My Personal Learning Environment. I will share the people who teach, the resources which guide, and the tools which will allow me to serve my school community as the librarian. I will also share how I developed and embraced my personal learning environment. – as a student and as an information seeker and information sharer.
- There are many definitions of a Personal Learning Environment. However, most include an interaction of people, tools, and resources available on the web which help a person grow in the knowledge and skill of her craft. The definition I prefer is the Knowledge Network as defined by Clive Shepherd. He adds another dimension – “non-digital and not easily captured in my browser.” He includes his family, “friends and work colleagues, [community,] ..books, magazines and newspapers, …TV…, film…, [and] radio program[mes].” I learn new information or gain another perspective from face-to-face conversations, an article, or a televised interview. These non-digital components may become part of the digital PLE when they are included in stories, comments, and blogs References Shepherd, C. as cited in Buchem, I. (2010, May 9). Personal learning environments (PLEs): A collection of definitions (written in English). Retrieved from http://www.slideshare.net/ibuchem/definitions-of-personal-learning-environment-ple-4029277
- Infographics of PLEs are as varied as the definitions. This infographic from J. Mota shows the three components of a PLE and more specifically the Personal Learning Network – the people who inspire, guide, teach. In the Google site which can be seen in the next slide, “PLE Construction Zone,” the PLN description also includes tools, resources, and products created to demonstrate what has been learned. References Mota, J. (2012, December 8). PLE: Personal learning environment. Retrieved from http://www.slideshare.net/josemota/personal-learning-environments-15514444
- Another part of the PLE is the Personal Portfolio which “collects” what has been learned and produced from the use of the other components. The portfolio includes the “public face” – the conversations with the community circle and the connection to other people on the web. As a digital immigrant, the concept of a web-based learning environment has been a new but welcome experience. Sources Loertscher, D., Koechlin, C., and you. (n.d.). PLE construction zone: Tools and teaching strategies. Retrieved from https://sites.google.com/site/pleconstructionzone/ Prensky, M. (2001). Digital natives, digital immigrants. Retrieved from http://www.marcprensky.com/writing/Prensky%20-%20Digital%20Natives,%20Digital%20Immigrants%20-%20Part1.pdf
- My PLE is created from three SmartArt graphics available on Microsoft Windows. I chose the SmartArt graphics to learn how to use them so in the future I can teach them with students. The portal uses the “upward arrow” to show the process of entering into the Internet. The personal learning network uses the “circle relationship” to show how the components of a PLN are connected. The portfolio uses the “ascending picture upward process” to show the continuing process of building a public profile.
- My laptop is the main device at the moment through which I access the Internet. I use a desktop computer at work and one at my volunteer site.
- I begin with Google Chrome on one computer, Internet Explorer on another, and Bing on yet another. I prefer Google Chrome because it is what I am most familiar with, the most used, most recognized.
- 8 My “shelfmarker” is the bookmark bar. I used to just put every site of interest onto a big list and scroll up and down the list. Since changing to a new laptop, I decided to use the folders to organize the sites visited, leaving the major sites, e.g. Canvas, my websites, e.g. Weebly, current sites, e.g stopwatch for my children’s screentime, and my main Portal – Symbaloo - on the open bar.
- 9 The folders hold the most visited sites in that category. Right now I have the Asus folder for my new laptop, CCD for my volunteer work, KBC & B2C – Book2Cloud sites, Library, and Students. They only have a few items because I had tried importing from the old laptop but I could not make it work! So I put the favorites from the old laptop into livebinder to “hold” those sites.
- 10 Organizing binders, creating file folders, and storing information into the cloud is still an exciting and exasperating learning curve. The exciting part is a digitally accessed, web-based PLE that makes referencing my collected knowledge literally available at my fingertips. Yes, I still use my Webster’s dictionary, my teacher editions, and blackline masters, but gathering what is similarly accessible online with a simple search truly “makes life easier!” The exasperating part is second-guessing the computer’s ordering and labeling capabilities, daring to impose my way against the ephemeral yet immovable cloud, rejoicing when a program or website meets me halfway as it “helps” me search and store. I anticipate more adventure as a digital immigrant when I buy my first ever smartphone.
- 11 My personal learning network includes, as Clive Shepherd defines, my family, friends, colleagues and binders and folders and books collected over the years of teaching and volunteer service. I have moved from ditto machines to copier machines to personal printers to just keeping as much as I can on the web.
- 12 LIBR 250 introduced me to the PLE and PLN. For that class, I simply described the bookmark bar and favorites list as my portal. With the laptop change and having difficulty with importing my favorites, I used livebinders to organize those sites. I like that the sites are open on thelvebinder pages. I do not like that I cannot import some sites or that the word processing, e.g. font sizing and typing, is temperamental and that it gets too messy for me as more tabs are added.
- 13 So I checked Feedly, Netvibes, iGoogleHome, Protopage – seemed okay; tried Diigo and will again in the future as I learn more about it.
- 14 Then I re-visited Symbaloo. I set it up with LIBR 250 but got scared because it froze my work computer when I tried to make it my home page. This time, I will open Symbaloo when I am on the web.
- 15 I like the tiles with the icons and labels. I like being able to move the tiles around and color code them – if needed. I like the webmixes, aka themes. Symbaloo helps me organize what I do and find on the Internet.
- 16 The Tabs show the webmixes I created or the ones chosen from the gallery. The Index lists all the webmixes, including those I hid from the tabs. The Web can be accessed from the middle of the Symbaloo webmix or from my browser. Once I have chosen a site, I can create a Tile to add to the webmix. I can also add a webmix from the gallery or create a new one by using the + icon at the end of the tab bar.
- 17 Symbaloo has pre-designed webmixes which are locked by their owners – and can’t be added to. If I don’t need it or want it, the webmix may be deleted. I will keep the Social Media webmix because it has the basics: Facebook, Twitter, Linked in, Pinterest, Amazon. It also has some sites for booking trips, shopping, weather, maps. This webmix can be adjusted. I have not yet looked through the other pre-made webmixe such as holidays/events, but they can be hidden from the tabs and later opened or accessed from the Index or listing. I have not yet figured out how to order the index. More later as I learn.
- 18 The webmixes I created have those sites I use most often or those sites I think may help in the future. I have one webmix for my volunteer work – OLL and another webmix for the ESL program which I had taught. I chose two pre-designed webmixes from the gallery which were shared by other symbaloo designers: “Libraries Symbaloo” – webtools for students to use and “Listen to reading” – stories read aloud on the Internet.
- 19 “Libraries Symbaloo” – webtools for students to use 25 Libraries Symbaloo is a webmix obtained from the Symbaloo gallery. Red are reading sites Green are instructional game sites Blue are catalogs, teacher sites Orange and Pink are math sites Purple is for keyboarding sites
- and “Listen to reading” – stories read aloud on the Internet. 26 Listen to Reading is another shared webmix from the Symbaloo gallery. It has sites for stores read aloud such as Speakaboos and Storyline Online Some, like Mrs. P.’s Library, is not available.
- 19 Each webmix has a theme. In the webmix, each set of tiles is color-coded for the subthemes. I will provide a general description of the webmixes using the color codes. A full list of the webmix content is in the notes and available on a word document which has a select list of the URLs. My Basic webmix includes Blue for GDOE, school sites, and the Guam Public Library Pink for San Jose and King library Grey for APA and research sites Purple for Common Core Aquamarine for Partnership 21st Century site Green for webtools such as a dictionary of computer terms, survey sites Brown for my blog sites and storage sites I also put sites which will be later moved to other webmixes, such as My Big Campus.

- 29 The portfolio connects to the websites I created for LIBR 203 and for my library site. I have established a limited public profile -with an ESL website, slideshare contribution, family facebook,, LinkedIn, but I am still in the “lurker” stage. I am still exploring , listening in, reading “about” and “home” pages, trying to find where I can fit in. Perhaps these library sites can establish that. Wonderwise is meant to be a personal blog but I have not used it at all. Perhaps it can be used as a reflection journal for the LIBR 295 class. The Library Desk is to become the Virtual Learning Commons for the school library. It will probably change as I grow into the library position. The Library Assessment Plan is a starting point for what I hope to accomplish and to measure progress on the library objectives and goals. I do not yet have a professional Facebook account which I hope to set up once the administration approves the library VLC. Once that is achieved, I hope to include twitter or similar. Working on a phone is another access point but that is a later project.

- 30 The PLE makes sense of the Internet resources - where I go, what I use, and who or what guides me. In the earlier courses, I learned how information is found, how to label it, how it is arranged so that it can be accessed, how to evaluate it so that it will be useful. The PLE and PLN have taught me how to organize the information that I think may be valuable for a teacher-librarian. Symbaloo’s color-coded tiles with label and icons allows me to fluidly organize and visually remember the information. However, the print and or icon is small and color-coding may need explaining for other users.
- 31 As a teenager, I remember sharing with a friend how much information my young brothers would have to learn in school and how, for that matter, as more knowledge is gathered, all students will need to learn an incredible amount of information in the future. Well, here is the future of that long ago conversation, and there IS an incredible amount of information swirling around us, ready to be picked through, sorted instantly for our particular need. As an educator and parent, it’s not so much anymore what needs to be learned but more so how well we are to find and use the accurate information needed. The PLE is one way to find and sort through the information. I have created one PLE for my library studies and future library work. Most of the people, resources, and tools available through this PLE are to help me begin as a librarian. It will it evolve as I become more experienced. I hope to share this learning with my colleagues, students, children – so that the Internet becomes a tool, wielded with confidence, to become more learned, better skilled, wise in the ways of the web.
