Prior to this I have never really been exposed to the concept of a Personal Learning Environment.  I certainly have never give much thought to my own.

After breaking out my sweet lay-flat journal and brilliantly colored pens, I mapped out my PLE.  I learned that I connect with things largely in a professional setting (conferences, publications, peer groups, and trainings) more so than social media or "traditional" news outlets.  The news I do get is primarily online, and through an outlet that I view less slanted than Fox or CNN - the Daily Mail.  I tend to collect things via notes/written word and in a variety of documents and files stored electronically.

Writing (whether it be drafts of formal policy or notes scratched out on random pieces of paper) seem to be my preferred form of reflection, although I also pontificate on things when doing yardwork or laying in bed after my 2 am trip to the potty.  

Keeping with my tendency to write things down, that seems to be how I share as well.  Due to different schedules (shiftwork, etc.) a good portion of my job is via email.  The sharing can also be done via formal policies and procedures.  While I prefer the written form, I also must conduct public presentations and speak at work sessions.  (it still helps me to have the presentation written out though)
