Influence
This is intended to show the exchange of information that I consider learning to be. The key word is 'Influence' and the larger circles show what my learning is largely influenced by. There is also an exchange of influence (represented by the arrows), although often to varying degrees. New information is often filtered based on my existing perspective, experience and prior knowledge.
Further reflection is required and after that I intend to update my PLE accordingly.
Reflection on Three PLEs
PLE is People - Jared Stein - http://www.flickr.com/photos/5tein/2271568921/
The simplicity of this PLE was very attractive. What I feel is at the core of learning (and networks) is people, so this idea resonated well with me. The connections I have made with people are often what have taught me or helped developed a form of understanding. These connections could be through books, online, or in-person but people still seems to be at the core of it all.

This, in my opinion, was a clear concept of all the different ways one could receive information. The clarity of this PLE is something I would try to incorporate into my own. It clearly encapsulates all necessary facets of a PLE without getting to confusing.

This was a terrific illustration of a learning cycle. Taking in the learning, rejecting some of the aspects but the rest is assimilated and used to form (or tweak) perspectives, how we view experiences and how we interact with the world. Common elements to be used in the development of my PLE.
