Personal Learning Environment

A personal learning environment is a place for users to take control of and manage their own learning. Some of these include setting personal learning goals, managing content, and communicating with others through a process of learning.  Personal learning environments are usually represented by social media/networking sites such as Facebook, blogs, Wiki's, and Twitter, although the possibilities are endless. Below is a snapshot of my personal learning environment.

21st century connected students are those who embrace the capacity of technology to engage themselves by amplifying and optimizing learning and achievement. These connected students are essentially partners in their own learning striving toward higher order skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity and entrepreneurship. By ensuring students are connected we are helping to build digital literacy and digital citizenship. Below I have created a mind map of a 21st century learner.
