It connects me to my personal learning network (PLN) and is simple to use. 4) Blogger, my blogging tool which hosts this blog and several more I run. Unported License. 5) YouTube.

Thank you to all those who read and commented on my blog post on April 1st. I''m not really going to stop blogging. Hopefully I succeeded - albeit in a tongue in cheek way - to illustrate that blogging is never easy, but it can have great rewards. Others are profoundly affected by harsh comments on their blogs.

I would imagine that if Joyce placed blogs into this category, (and in the model's present form I see no reason why they shouldn't be there), then a higher profile and higher level of engagement between user and PLN would ensue. Yet she leaves blogs and other authoring tools to insert into the final quadrant, the Portfolio.

Extensive conversations with others within one''s community of practice are now easier than ever, thanks to social media such as social networks, wikis and blogs. How much we can learn from each other is now moderated by the extent of our personal learning networks , rather than the boundaries of our classroom walls.

One of the most valuable assets a 21st Century learner has is their personal learning network (PLN). A lot of what is learned (some claim up to 70 per cent) is informal, and with a powerful enough network of connections to a PLN, there is no limit to what a learner can achieve.

They have the tools, they own the technology, and they have the confidence to use them, not only informally, but increasingly in formal learning contexts. Many are prolific and proficient in producing blogs, podcasts, videos and photos for sharing on the web. That gives them personal ownership of their learning.

I have written a lot about Personal Learning Environments in the past, especially when they were emerging as a concept, and sounded quite new. PLEs could be created by anyone, using just about any tool or technology, and we expanded the idea to embrace other elements such as real experiences and people (Personal Learning Networks).

They also have the capacity to support personal learning. Social media is one of the most versatile, and very personal technologies available to teachers.
