From this consider Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) vs. Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) and I come away, as I often do, seeking a compromise, the best of both - a basic, easy to use, and reliable VLE with students who may come with nothing, or a good deal, but was I have done will over the course of a couple of favourite tools and ways of doing things.
The two are like dripping coloured ink into a fish tank. My fingers aggitate between the two.
Until Google takes over all of it, there are too.
In my case I've gone from an old Mac Book and printing stuff off to having everything online, using blogs like e-portfolios and switching between an iPad and a laptop.

That is the prettiest I have seen so far, really like the very visual and colourful way your PLE is presented - what did you use?
Agree we use a lot of web 2.0 tools in our every day lives, some without thinking, but there will always be a handful we could not do without.

This is mindcreator, an ipad App. Increasingly I find I use App search to look for a tool. I now had a to do listvapp, a drawin app ... And numerous others, some of which are indispensible.New comment
