This is a tutor called Sarah’s PLE or Personal Learning Environment

In twos discuss what your own PLE looks like – it doesn’t all have to be technology! I have a notebook and pen in mine!

Idea #1: get your students to map their PLE

Treat today’s session as a pick and mix
You know what will work for your students
New media tools for reflective practice

Don’t underestimate the power of a mobile phone!
All your students have one in their pocket – get them to use it for learning and reflection!
Please switch your phones ON!

Using Posterous and my iPhone camera I created a blog called ‘A history of Bryony in 100 objects’

Idea #2: get your students to create a photographic record of a placement or project using Posterous & a camera phone

Over to you!
Think of a student or class you teach and an activity you want them to do
Choose which tool(s) you would encourage them to use
