> > Though the term is currently used mostly to describe complex systems of online and digital resources, we will use a simpler definition: A PLE is a group of resources, including people, places, print media, digital media, and online information, gathered systematically to help you achieve a learning goal. >>
 * 1) Choose an area of interest. This should be a topic that is relevant to you professionally and/or personally. The topic should not be too broad to investigate deeply. It should not be so specific that you cannot find multiple sources of information about it. You may contact the instructor to confirm that your topic is appropriate.
 * 2) Understand the concept of a //Personal Learning Environment//. It is also called a //Personal Learning Network//, and in education, is often called a //Professional Learning Network//. A good way to start understanding this concept is to read about it on Wikipedia and to search for these terms in Google, Bing, or other search engine.
 * 1) Create a PLE to help you continue to learn about your chosen topic. For the purpose of this assignment, your PLE should contain at least the following resources.
 * 2) A person. This should be an individual who is an expert or has helpful, relevant information. You should be able to communicate with this person by a personal visit, phone call, video conferencing or personal email.
 * 3) One book. Because books take time to be written and are not continually revised, they become out of date quickly. Choose books that give basic information about your topic.
 * 4) One journal. This should be a peer-reviewed journal that at times publishes relevant articles.
 * 5) At least two twitter feeds.
 * 6) Three websites. These should be websites that are continually updated and contain information relevant to your learning goal. Websites that feature the writing and research of more than one author are preferred.
 * 7) Two blogs. These should be blogs of individuals who write about your topic.

 * 9) Other. This may include sources of videos or other digital media.
