I did a twitter search on personal learning environments. Here is what I learned. Gavin Heaton’s blog has some sections that we should examine. He lifts up three elements of personal learning environments:  1) gather information and knowledge 2) filter and process this data, and 3) act on the knowledge that we have acquired.  The most compelling thing that he wrote was “It is essential that you establish a personal space which is conducive to your own learning.”
