My Mind Map

What a great way to visually describe my learning for this class. Here it is, followed with my thoughts. 

I wish to describe what I have placed as it is in the draft stage.

Office Tools, WWW, Audio/visual are the three categories I focus my PLE. Power Point, Word and Excel within Microsoft Office are the tools I use to produce basic-level products. I am comfortable with these and rely on them for simple tasks. Audio/Visual is a new category of learning for myself. Web albums, podcasts, Google Earth offer to me wonderful tools to elaborate my professional experience and personal life. Social Bookmarking, Delicious account are not of interest to myself currently yet I am happy to know of them and their potential. They may serve me in my job as IC and I will keep them in my "toolbox" (PLE) if it should arise. I believe these are good to know of for my own children, technological natives. WWW is the largest section on my mind map. This pleasantly surprised me once I stepped back to analyze the map. Email, Google Docs, Go2Web20.0, personal web sites for learning, wiki, blogs, Delicious are among the most used sites I have come to rely on and easily go between. I believe I am a stronger user of technology and my PLE map reflects this, with the tools I use and chose to place on the map. There are a few others but I felt they weren't as important to my learning. I believe in expanding my learning and truly want to know of other technological tools. I hope to and plan to increase this map as new tools are introduced to educators.
