Week 2 - Report & Reflection

A personal learning environment has its importance as a learner. The abbreviation that is used for personal learning environment is PLE. Dr. Alan Cann has dedicated a post about PLE. He defined a PLE as a system that helps learners take control of and manage their own learning (Cann, 2010). Besides this the PLE is considered as a support for learners to set their own learning goals, manage their learning, manage both content and process, and communicate with others in the process of learning (Cann, 2010). In other words it gives one about how one learns. Below is a image of my PLE that I have created.

In five to ten years time into my future, I envision myself working in the tourism industry. Possibly working in Hong Kong or Asia in an airline industry or becoming a tour guide. Currently, I am also working as a travel agent at a travel agency in Toronto. In order to get to my envision in five to ten years I would need to increase my knowledge and skills. I have recently started my job at the tourism industry therefore I would have a lot to learn. First of all, in order to be certified to be working in an Ontario registered tourism agency, the staff must have a TICO certification. Pursuing this further, gaining a TICO certification is necessary. Besides this, gaining more knowledge about how to handle various situations with customer interactions is something that is necessary. At the moment, I think that my learning environment is acceptable. Everyone respects one another and helps each other when necessary. Besides this, we help each other with new and updated information and other things that is needed to update one another. Habits can be good and bad. However, at the moment I think one of my bad habit is that I can misread things when I start to panic. Furthermore, to reduce this bad habit, I should double check things and not to panic. 

Using the word cloud tool, I realized that certain words that were emphasized were used a lot in the post. Below is an illustration of the word cloud tool that I have created using the previous post that I have posted on the blog. Besides this, I realized that this tool is a different variation to illustrate words. Thus, this resource can be used for future references; such as the final assignment at the end of this course.
