I'm hoping to address questions such as: How do you create a personal tool set or Personal Learning Environment (PLE) for yourself? We may not think of this in terms of a personal learning environment and a particular set of methods, but it's there. What should be in your tool set? Should twitter be part of your tool set?

But, too much structure is not going to work. But that's the exception.

But it is still important, because it reveals many of the features future learning environments (and personal environments in general) will need to have.

Stephen Downes commented on my recent post - Personal Work and Learning Environments (PWLE) - More Discussion and said - I am opposed to the trend coming from the corporate learning side of the house to treat PLEs as work tools. There's a side benefit of doing this in that you can keep the content beyond your current job.

I think that folks who are in the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) space have a much better idea of what will come next. However, I remain skeptical that we really understand how to use these tools to be better learners and thus, are a bit away from having well-formed personal learning environments.
