I'm hoping to address questions such as: How do you create a personal tool set or Personal Learning Environment (PLE) for yourself? The information in this series has been something I've been presenting, writing, blogging about and more recently doing workshops around. What should be in your tool set?

But as I have tried to articulate in earlier blogposts , my PLE is more than people and tools.

A PLE can be messy. This may be why the concept of informal learning is such a hard sell. A company cannot tell its employees to go "figure out" our corporate policy on customer service, safty or compliance.that knowledge must be conveyed as simply and in as "unmessy" method as possible. Forget about it. Its personal, after all.
