      Wow. All theire schools are a pile of rubble.
  • Haiti’s best universities are in wreckage, their campuses now jumbles of collapsed concrete, mangled desks and chairs, and buried coursework. Hundreds of professors and students were entombed, although the exact number of dead is complicated by the fact that class lists and computer registries were also wiped out by the quake.
  • That protest saved a lot of lives,”

  • It was arguably a shortage of educated professionals in Haiti that ensured so much of Haiti would collapse.

  • I will also tell the client that I'm trying something new so that they don't feel like an uninformed guinea pig to my learning. These experiments then become fodder for more learning. I try when I can to reflect on what I've done to see what worked well and what didn't. For example, recently I used a wiki to write a grant and right now I'm in the process of analyzing how that worked for us.  I will then incorporate my reflections into the next iteration if I intend to use the learning again.

  • This blog is another way I process. Sometimes I put up some fairly raw thoughts (this being one of them), but I find that the feeling of having an "audience" makes me less likely to do that all the time, so I might write first in my journal to start making sense and then post here when it gets closer to being semi-articulate.
  • few of these in my mindmap, I realize). These are the materials that I sort of "graze" through. I have no particular objective in mind and will tend to just click through to things that interest me. When I have a specific learning objective in mind, then I use things like Google or a search of del.icio.us or technorati tags.  I will often activate my network of contacts at that point, too. Again, I find that technology has enhanced this networking ability in a couple of ways. First, my network is much broader than it used to be. Through tools like LinkedIn, blogging and listservs, the number of people I "know" and from whom I can get information has really grown. The

  • Doing Something with the LearningUltimately, all of this learning needs to go somewhere. If it doesn't change what I do or how I think, I'm not sure I can say I've learned much. I'm a big experimenter, so I find that what I first tend to do in a lot of cases is find a way to do a personal learning experiment. When I was learning about blogging, for example, then I started a blog (it was an art blog, so it was less professionally risky for me, too). When I was learning about wikis, I started my Web 2.0 in Nonprofits wiki.
  • So What's Your PLE?OK--so that's my personal learning environment. I'd be curious to hear from others about how they've constructed their own PLEs, thoughts they have on the concept, etc. It's a topic that I think has real potential for use in nonprofits as a way to keep learning happening every day at a very low cost. But to do this, I think we have to be intentional in exploring what tools and processes are needed to put something together, which is a big reason I wanted to go through this reflection of my own practice as a way to get some ideas for how it could look. I need more than just my thoughts, though, so all feedback on this welcome.

  • As I'm gathering information, I also need to process it. When I'm reading online materials, I've started using Diigo  to highlight and take notes. This is a switch from my previous practice of using Google Notebooks, but it's working a lot better for me. I need to interact with material as I'm absorbing it in order to make it my own.

      IRONY. Diigo is a very important thing for kids to do research in a PLE.
  • I've also been using my Tumblr "microblog" to keep track of things that I find. There's a handy bookmarklet in my Firefox Toolbar that allows me to quickly add and annotate info into it and it's been very useful for me to start using microblogging to pull things together for later processing. I also like it for collecting quotes that catch my interest.

      Social Networking and PLE's work hand in hand. Social Networks help you interact with other people, and like in this situation, keep track of research and publish different things.
