Final Report on PLN

Using Symbaloo as my Personal Learning Network, or PLN, has been a very neat way to see all of my Internet resources right in the same place. It is a great way to keep me organized (through labeling with colors) and also saves time so that I can easily go from one site to another with a click of a button.

My networks have ranged from personal to educational (and sometimes both). Personal, such as facebook allowed me to connect with my EDM classmates to discuss class projects and activities to help each other clear up any confusion. Educational tools included Google and Wikipedia and even new sites such as Wolfram Alpha. This semester, these sites helped me with research for ideas in this class and even in my other classes.  Other sites such as YouTube were used for both educational and personal enjoyment. I was actually a bit surprised to see how many educational videos were up on YouTube. I knew that the amount of videos online were statistically outrageous but I guess I never wrapped my mind about all of the different categories of videos uploaded every seconds.

Symbaloo has definitely been a great tool to keep me focused. I have learned so much by using a PLN. I will for sure keep using it through out my college career and into my professional career where I will be able to share this resource with many other people.
