Updating my PLE...


I just took a look to the mind map I published last semester and as I saw the picture I thrilled with horror: I remember going crazy to download the program to build my map. Anyway, I stopped and reflected on all the activities I have been doing in the past 4-5 moths and I realized that nothing really changed in my PLE, I mean, I can add two more tools, for example, as far as “virtual spaces” are concerned, in particular the Internet, I could add Skype and Facebook, but on the whole, I think that my map did not undergo big and meaningful changes.
I started using actively Skype when the exchanged took place, even for the Padova-Poznan group while as regards Facebook, I don’t have an account, but since Rocio -our peer- did, I started wondering through the profiles, just for curiosity sake. Honestly I’m not interested in having a Facebook account, I know that it could be funny and somehow useful but for me it will surely turn into a waste of time. Skype is an amazing tool: you can talk with people from all around the world, you can see them while talking if you have a webcam, you can even just chat if you want. Undoubtedly I would like to add to the map the wikipages, which can be used for gathering, storing and looking for information. Working on our personal wiki was very interesting and I really enjoyed collaborating with Rocio and with the other members of the group, although when fixing the content and the layout of the wiki it is highly probable that you will have to face some difficulties.
Considering the length of the other posts this will probably be the briefer, but I think that I said pretty much everything about my mind map evolution so far and if something else will come to my mind in the next days, I will immediately update it.
