My Personal Learning Environment, by Oscar R. Garavito G.

My personal learning environment for many might not be the most appropriate, not having a completely mine space at home I must develop my educational activities in the dining room of my house. Currently I have settled in to study in the dining room, it is just a matter of concentrating and looking for the most appropriate times, in my case it is in the morning when there is no one except me and my pets and at night while everyone is sleeping, my personal environment of Work is made up of four fundamental parts that are the environment in which I carry out my activities, the living beings with whom I share my environment, the technological elements that I use and the furniture in which I organize all my things.

I live with my wife, my three children and two pets, my wife is a very loving woman and she likes to keep an eye on me, for this reason she constantly comes to my learning space to try to start conversations with me, sometimes I feel a little bad for her because because of my concentration I can't have a fluid conversation with her, but so that she doesn't feel bad, the first thing I do after finishing my educational activities is to go look for her and restart those conversations that are pending. I have three children, of whom the one who interrupts my educational space the most is the youngest. I don't want to sound mean, but I'm sure we've all heard this question, "Dad, what are you doing?" You will understand, children's curiosity is very important for their development, for this reason I must stop my activities and very patiently explain what I am doing at that moment and then continue with what I was doing. As for my pets, I must say that I feel

The space that surrounds me has both positive and negative things, speaking of the positive things I can say that I carry out my activities in a usually quiet area, I generally use soft music to relax and increase my concentration, another positive thing is that if I study during the day I can receive natural light from the window that is right next to me and the living room is a strategic point to be able to keep an eye on everything that happens in my house. Regarding the negative side of my learning environment, I must say that from time to time the neighbors make noises such as shouting, loud music and animal sounds, among others, this causes me to lose concentration and sometimes lose track of what I am doing, in addition It's a bit frustrating to be in the living room of the house when my children want to go from one side to the other or when my wife wants to come see what I'm doing, out of respect for them I can't tell them much since the dining room is everyone'

These can be divided into two, software and hardware, the software I use is exclusively to fulfill the activities that my study area requires, I use a computer with a Windows operating system, which allows me to use programs such as YouTube, web browsers, office and clip studio Paint among others. As for the hardware, I use a laptop with an external mouse that seems easier to use and a graphic tablet that allows me to digitize my drawings with great quality, basically these are the elements that I use the most in my learning space.

The furniture that I use very little, I only need a table to place my things and a chair to sit on, being in the living room I have easy access to the kitchen in case I need to drink or eat something and to the rest of the house in case I need anything else.
