Welcome to Week 8: Personalized Learning Environments
Teachers and students are increasingly looking to an open architecture of web resources to create Personalized Learning Environments (PLEs). This movement is resulting in new challenges and opportunities for educators and private educational technology enterprises. Students are discovering new ways to build and manage their own learning experiences.
Have a look at this short video an begin to think about how you have constructed your PLE. Have you seen evidence that your own learners are turning to PLEs?
Now head over to our PLE blog. Â Discussions and activities will be based out of that site.

Hello Team,
I like the way your video summarizes the advancements in how we learn. It is incredible how, in such a relatively short period of time, we have gone from teacher/student to networks of learners.

Thanks Danielle and Bridget. I wasn’t familiar with Symballo until we started working on this project and I love it, too 🙂

Hello Team 8,
What a great video to introduce your presentation on PLE! This video truly reflects my time as a child to now as a graduate student. I think the new generation would most likely go through a different experience than I did as they were raised with technology surrounding them. I look forward in your presentation and contributing to your discussions!
Best,
Karon Wong

I like the intro video how it was laid back and made you listen more rather than view fast moving pictures. I’m looking forward to visiting your site.

Thank you for such an interesting investigation into PLE’s. You have given me much to think about in terms of how they fit into my own school context.

Thanks for giving me a much better understanding of PLEs, and introducing me to Symbaloo (wonderful platform!).

Team 8 – fantastic job! Loved your introductory video, and thanks for showing me Symbaloo. Until this week, I hadn`t really thought about PLEs – both my own or how they could be used within my position. Very informative!
