Thanks for completing Assignment 2 PLE Development! It is very important for our course learning. I hope you are gaining better understanding on the effectiveness of PLE. I know many of us felt overwhelmed by creating and managing multiple accounts. This is fairly common in Personal Learning Environments with multiple Web 2.0 tools and Open Network Learning Environments (ONLE). Don't get discouraged! During the progress of our course, you should have a better understanding and will develop better skills to "manage" multiple leaning tools. Below are a few tips for you to learn more about each tool.
I encourage you to apply Symbaloo or Netvibes to manage various Web 2.0 tool so you do not need to visit all Web 2.0 tools to know what are happening in each tool. In PLE, the process of self-directed learning requires a degree of self-awareness. Many of us may have never taken the time to think about their meta-cognition or to reflect on how we learn best. We need to make sure we are ready for the responsibility that comes with building and managing a PLE.
Personally, I visit my Symbaloo or Netvibes when I start working on my computers. My Symbaloo, Netvibes and PLE tab provide a good glance of my teaching and learning updates. I keep my Symbaloo or Netvibes open all the time when I am working on my computers. When I am not on my computers, my smart-phone with apps provide me similar functions as well.
If you have smartphones or tablets, you can download Apps (like Twitter, Facebook, Delicious, VoiceThread, RSS Readers etc.) onto your phone, so you can access your PLE on our phone to integrate "Mobile Learning" to enhance your own learning.
