Who are you, and what do you like to learn about? (academically, professionally, and/or personally)
I like to learn about film, sex, psychology, and random interesting facts about life and the world in which we live.
What hardware do you use to learn? (Eg. smart phone, tablet, laptop, desktop)
I use my phone to check facts immediately, but I will do intense research on on my personal laptop.
What software do you use to learn? (Eg. search engines, mobile apps, social networks, eBooks, digital libraries, wikis, blogs, videos, podcasts)
I learn through YouTube videos, scientific journals, articles (frequently Wikipedia), and just Google searches.
What digital tools do you wish you had access to for learning? (Eg. any graphic organizers, mind-mapping tools, resource management tools, progress tracking tools, design tools, etc.) Why?
I wish I had more desktops so I didn’t have to shrink my current activities to fit one screen.
What might your ideal Personal Learning Environment (PLE) look like?
I would have a place for just writing (notes, stories, poems, etc.) and an engine for limitless research. I would want the engine to grant me access to every publication and documentation ever (accurate and inaccurate, fiction and non-fiction). I would want to be able to view any possible perspective on one topic at one time.
