A Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is a combination of resources and activities that a person normally uses
to learn.
In the last fifty years, there have been many changes in edu-
cation. Here are the three main ones:
1.
The way we access and manage information.
2.
The tools we use to create and share information.
3.
The use of social networks to distribute information.
FINAL TASK
Exploring and expanding your
Personal Learning Environment
Although the expression ‘Personal Learning Environment’ is new, the concept has existed for a long time. In your notebook,
make a list of the resources and activities that your parents or grandparents probably used when they were young. How
are they different from what you use today? Discuss your ideas with your classmates.
You will develop your infographic as you
progress through the various sections of this
unit, taking notes about the resources and
activities that you use.
You will also write down the resources and
activities that you do not use at the present
moment, but which may be useful in the
near future.
Technical specifications
Discuss the results in class to learn about the PLE of your classmates.
