module, comment upon the educational value of personal learning
networks.

A concept
Some authors clearly suggest treating the notion of Personal Learning Environments
as a concept or approach. Attwell (2007a), for example, states explicitly that “... it is
critical that PLEs are being seen as not just a new application of educational
technology, but rather as a concept. The development of Personal Learning
Environments represents a significant shift in pedagogic approaches to how we
support learning processes” (p. 59).

Reflection - your experience is important
You can reflect on any theoretical or practical experience in your academic development. These reflections can be of either a positive or negative event and can be:
•Good examples of your practice
•Meaningful events
•The value of a particular skill
•An event that frustrated you
•An event where you wanted to improve your knowledge
•An event that made you happy, sad, distressed, or enlightened!

Reflection - your experience is important
Reflective writing is evidence of reflective thinking. In an academic context, reflective thinking usually involves:
• Looking back at something (often an event i.e. something
that happened, but could also be an idea or object)
• Analysing the event or idea (thinking in depth and from
different perspectives, and trying to explain, often with
reference to a model or theory from your subject)
• Thinking carefully about what the event or idea means for
you and your ongoing progress as a learner and/or practising professional
