This is the presentation I gave at the Centre for Teaching and Learning at Stellenbosch University. I began by exploring some of the ways in which the education system is broken, and how the select application of certain types of technologies may be a useful part of the solution. This first section was to contextualise the second part of the presentation... ...which was to demonstrate a few examples of how I integrate certain services, applications and devices into my own PLE, before finally... ...highlighting the challenges we face in moving this idea forward, as well as suggesting guidelines that acknowledge the challenges, but which still facilitate an appropriate application of the PLE concept. Few of the ideas expressed in the presentation are solely my own (other than choosing the images), and I've tried to give credit where it is due.
