The most valuable aspect of creating a PLE was actually learning how to use a blog. Many of the assignments that we had to post to our PLE's helped me know more and more about blogs. I felt like everyone else was using blogs except for me (for personal use), but not any more! Even though I don't know all the cool tricks there are to blogs, I feel pretty comfortable using them.
The thing I liked least about the PLE's, was reporting on them during the practicum. I didn't do it, because I always forgot. I probably forgot simply because there was no need to post a reflection every week.
The liklihood of my using a blog for personal or educational use in the future is very high! My husband has been bugging me to create a blog for our family, and now I will! They are a great way to keep in touch with people and to keep others informed as well as being informed. I think blogs would also be a good use for educational purposes and sharing ideas with other teachers.
