PLE Building
I really enjoyed building my personal learning environment around wine! In addition to learning about different wines, I build some new relationships and had some fun with my friends. It was easy to find blogs to read from Twitter. It only took one request of people to follow about wine and I was off to the races. Twitter is my go-to place for making connections and it made it super easy to find people to follow and blogs to read. I even found some French people to follow and talk to. I got brave and even commented on a blog in French! Basically I have learned about the different types of wine and now have great people to ask if I have any questions.
A highlight of the experience was going to my first wine festival! A PLE doesn’t only have to include people from far away! Why not make the most of the people you have close to home too? So I gathered some friends and we went to a wine festival that was just a few miles from my house. It was great fun and I really learned about wines and found some local wineries that I will definitely go visit.
