Week 2 Reflection Activity

Hey Everyone!

So its onto week 2 of activities for my online course. Wow time is flying by. So this week we went over the various PLE's (Personal Learning Equipment)  that we use in our daily lives and as students. After watching various presentations on PLE I didn't realize that it consists of every form of technology and websites that I use on a daily basis even if it is just to pass time.

Going through the various resources we were given I have come to learn that everything I do online has an impact on my PLE. Below I have posted my current PLE, Yes, I know that right now it is small and basic, however over the coming weeks I am excited to have it grow as I learn about more tools that are available online.

After completing this I was surprised that I only use a handful of the tools that are available online. Over the coming days I will definitely be going over some of the tools to see just how well I know them and will be adding to my PLE.  

After the PLE I went on to look at word clouds.  This was a fun activity, since I took my previous post and it took the words and made them various sizes.  Every time I changed the type of font it would give a new arrangement of words.  Then onto changing the colours that were available.  I personally didn't like any of the predetermined combinations so I created my own.  So playing with different number combinations to see what colour they gave was where I spent a majority of my time.  I was happy with a combination of teals and greens. I have the word cloud posted below.

  So this completes week 2. I can't wait to see what the coming weeks have in store for me to learn.  

Have a great day!
