When I created my Personal Learning Network, I struggled at first trying to come up with ideas of what to put on it. I then thought of my day to day life and realized how connected it actually was. So much of my life is now done online or done using a device. Whether is talking with friends via Facebook or communicating with profs via email. Now instead of taking notes using pen and paper, I am using Evernote, a web based app that automatically syncs whatever information I type in as long as I am connected to wifi. Also instead of flipping through the actual curriculum document, I can reach the framework document or any SLO with a few clicks of a button.
Once I was able to figure out my own PLN, making a mind map for the connected student came easy because I feel that many apps that today's student is using, I am too. The one advantage the 21st century will have is that they may learn of newer apps or social networks first but I would not be far behind.
This looks great steven! Seems as though you really grasped the concept map idea. Mine 2 maps looked a little too similar to each other. oops!
