Personal Learning Networks force you to consider how you will manage your learning. Coming from one who has been accustomed to letting others dictate their learning, I can say without a doubt that this is work and required a concerted effort on my part to think through all of the processes I have been exposed to this summer.
I enjoyed my summer of learning and had a great deal of fun experimenting with some applications and an equal amount of frustrations working with others. Overall, though, my experience was a positive one. And one I would not have tried had it not been for EDUC689. I am much less apprehensive about trying new applications and have become more willing to take risk, at least with this. Risk in other areas is slowly coming also.
Take a look at my coverpage and learning network. I hope you enjoy it and become inspired to create your own, if you don't have one already. I commented on those that I will continue to use currently; the others will be used as the opportunity arises.

The purple represents every application I learned about this summer. The green bubbles are attached to the applications I will use regularly. The grey bubble is the questionable one.)
