This 11 minute video was a great introduction to a Personal Learning Environment (PLE), the benefits, limitations, and the technologies used in a PLE.   The video provides an informative slide presentation for viewers to read as the video plays.  Some key points made in the video: the PLE can motivate learners since they utilize technology they are familiar with, students map out their own learning strategies and PLE also serves as a digital record of the learning process.  The contents of a PLE are always being updated by the learner and teacher.  The video also provides information about the platforms that can be used to create a PLE such as Symbaloo.  Overall, the video gives a clear and to the point introduction to Personal Learning Environments that is easy to follow and learn from.
