Donald Clark left the following comment on my posting about personal learning environments: "The term PLE is, in itself, suspect.

I expect Aardpress hope to benefit by providing supporting services and good luck to them in that.

Chris Brannigan of Caspian Learning alerted me to Cognitive Fitness , an article by Roderick Gilkey and Clint Kilts in the Harvard Business Review, which you can download online for US$6.50. The byline to the article gives you the gist: "New research in neuroscience shows you how to stay sharp by exercising your brain."
