PLEs are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning. In my PLE I would have Facebook, email, youtube, google, merriam webster, and websites that pertain tot he subjects I am studying readily available to me at all times. I would use Mahara as well as part of my PLE because it allows me to post and connect different pages and databases to my page. I find youtube as a very important source of learnign because many teachers and organizations post videos on how to do something or information about topics.
I really like Moodle to be part of it as well because it keeps my classes organized and allows conversation and learnign to go back and forth very easily when needed. My PLE will have all my schools things on one side and my personal stuff on the other. Everything will be readily available to me and easy to navigate through. I could also use a webpage or document system that allows me to take notes or screen shots and safe them for later after class to refer back to. The easier to move and link things together the better.
