      I love the comment about different learning zones and flexible learning spaces. I agree that having different learning areas is a must for classrooms. Even though I am in the learning stage of personalized learning, there are some things including room lay out that I already have in place. Looking forward to the next steps.

PLE Articles - 1 views

      I think this statement is very important for the heading why PLE's are beneficial. Showing learning can take place in both formal and informal settings. Often with the push to meet the standards and standardized tests teachers feel the need to focus on the formal learning setting, however the informal learning setting can actually prove to be more beneficial in my opinion.
