The development of a functioning PLN is undoubtedly one of the most important dynamics in maintaining a strong sense of the world beyond my own four walls (can I make that a nickname for my brainbox?). I am only as creative as my influences are expansive. Quote it. We already know that creativity is much more an outflow of a widely-influenced mind than an independently ingenious one.
However, a wise person will understand the limits of his/her processing capacity. That is probably why I always get overwhelmed with social media… and probably why most teenagers just can’t handle it… but I did not just call myself a teenager. I simply have some of the same tragic flaws!
For your viewing experience, I have attempted to categorize my most intentionally-processed sources of stuffs. Check out this popplet for a great visual depiction. (Whoever thought of this popplet thing is great – totally not creative, but that is what makes it great: efficient and simple.)
