One question that I never know how to answer is: "Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?"
Truthfully I have no idea, I have ideas of where I want to be and what I want to be doing. But what I want to be doing is hopefully teaching full-time in a kindergarten to 4 classroom. This has been a dream of mine ever since I can remember, and I even remember being told stories about how when I was younger and I am talking about grade 1, where I would go and sit in the teachers chair at the front of the classroom and attempt to read to the class. So I guess being a teacher has always been something that I have wanted to do. And right now I am constantly working towards that goal everyday by trying my best in school and applied to teacher's college to continue working towards that goal. I know that it is going to be a bit of work in order to get where I want to be in the end, and I know that I may have to move or accommodate to where I am going to be able to achieve this goal.
Getting to where I want to be 5-10 years from now is going to take a lot of organization and with that comes different tools in order to do so such as my calendar on my Mac, and Pinterest is also a very helpful website in order to keep ideas organized. I also know that it is going to be a lot about making connections with other people, and I am able to do this by email, social media websites, as well as Skype. All of these tools are going to be important for me to get where I want to be because they are all going to be able to help me keep on top of everything that I either need to get done or want to get done.
One thing about environment is that we are able to change it to make it the best of us as it can be. For me in order to get my work done, or a place where I get my best work done would be in the comfort of my own home. I know some may like going out to a coffee shop to work, but for me that is to many distractions and I like it so that I am able to consecrate completely on what I am working on. I like it so that I am able to have some music playing in the background, just as some quiet background noise so that it is not completely quiet.

After I created my Personal Learning Environment (PLE) I am able to see that everything that I have included on it plays a part in some way of reaching my goal. I have learned form my PLE that there are multiple factors that come into play in order for someone to be able to get to their end goal. I also did not know before I sat down and did my PLE that there were so many factors contributing and helping me get to where I want to be within the next 5-10 years and I think that it is interesting to see that all of these individual factors play a role, whether it is a small or big role, they are all included in helping me.

I think that after using the Wordle tool this week, I am able to see what words I am frequently using and how they are all integrated with each other. I think this program is a good way for someone to learn about their writing style as well because they are able to see how they are connecting different ideas. I think that I learned that I am more involved in the digital world that I may have thought, considering that "digital" is the biggest word on my Wordle. I knew that I was let's say, well connected on the social media front, but I did not know that I was connected or involved as much as I am. This is a good way for people to be able to see where they stand when it comes to the technological world.
Until next time,
Amanda :)
