Eleanor's PLE

I use good old pen and paper for this

These are feed aggregators that put all the updates and news I'm interested in in one place.

Some sites have their own notification updates without going into your email. These are handy especially for sites I frequently visit such as theverge.

A handy way of remembering sites I visit and find informative.

This is a script that came in handy for adding various links to my Livebinders

This is a network of all my friends, classmates and colleagues who help me with my studies.

These are varios communities of practice I'm in that use Whatsapp as a medium. One is a group we formed during and for Academic English groupwork and presentations (Vikings) and another is an all female group where we share information on classes, help each other out on assignments and math problems (she wolves).

Sometimes, you do have to go back to basics, and do your research from good old fashioned books rather than trolling the internet for someone who happens to be doing the same thing you are.

Google Scholar has proven itself an infallible champion in my research efforts. I can just google on any topic and in a few milliseconds, I have at my fingertips thousands of journals and papers!

Despite the usefulness of Google Scholar, it would be nothing if I couldn't actually access any of these papers and journals. Moreover, the library has a healthy selection of hard copy books and journals to supplement my research.

Being a 21st century learner, I do get quite a lot of infomation from videos put up on various sites and blogs. Some of my teachers do this as well, playing videos during lectures as a way of engaging the students.

Particularly personal, as I do not have internet access once I leave school, I do sometimes save various pages I find to read later.

I had signed up for a number of online courses before I enrolled to Monash and now I use them to supplement my education where applicable.

Nice way to remember what I need to do, and the app comes free with my Windows Phone!
