Items to Consider for your PLN:

Element 3 - Your Portfolio
Element 3 - Your Portfolio
Start your own portfolio or continue working on the one you have.
- A private space
- A public face
- Using any software you choose - The recommended software to use is Symbaloo (as mentioned earlier). Think of this as software that acts the closest to what you would have for a PLE on your smart phone.
After you create your portfolio, you will create a maximum 5 minute Jing video tour of your entire PLE. Be sure to include all three sections: the portal, the PLN, and the portfolio.
