first of all I would like to apologize for the late but, as you could see from my previous post, I’ve been pretty busy in the past two weeks!
Anyway, here am I with my PLE! I have to confess that I’ve found this activity really involving and stimulating even though I had to make some consistent efforts to write down and organize all the elements in a clear and coherent way. As a matter of fact, trying to reflect on your PLE in a rather rational way is a rather demanding activity: there are lots of things that you unconsciously and automatically do and that are not always easy to recall.
Thinking about all the people, tools, environments that have been contributing to your language learning is absolutely fundamental in order to become aware of the mechanisms of such a complex and intricate process. All in all, people can get the most of their learning if only they actively participate in the very process.
In order to create a somehow coherent mindmap, I decided to divide all the elements and inputs into two main levels: REAL WORDS and VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS. It’s surprising to see that in the age of technologies, people and tools from the so called “real world” are still playing a fundamental role in my learning process.
Here you are my PLE:
That’s all people!
See you soon
Alessia
