I go through periods of having little new to say about Personal Learning Environments and times with many new ideas. I am at the moment in one of the latter periods – inspired by so many interesting talks at the European Technology Enhanced Summer School last week and at over the weekend at a meeting of the Mature-IP project partnership.

Here are a few of the things I have been thinking about (and will write about over the next two weeks):

• the emergence of some consensus about a mash up (Mupples) approach to PLE development based on widgets
• the relationship between (informal) learning and knowledge development and maturing within organisations
• The relationship between individual learning through a PLE and organisational learning
• the idea of bricolage as the basis of an emerging pedagogic theory of learning outside the institutions
• the potential for a mobile device based PLE (code named a WOMBLE – Work and Mobile Learning Environments)
• The digital identity of learners expressed through a PLE
• the idea of appropriation (linked to bricolage) of software and applications for use for learning
• the potential of Google Wave as a platform for a PLE

Anyone care to add to this list?
