That means that when you learn, you do it differently to everyone else. It follows that the tools and technologies you use for learning are those you have selected to use because you are (or should be) comfortable with them, personally. These tools, services and technologies become a part of your personal learning environment or PLE.
I was asked by Grainne Conole to record a short video on my views about Personal Learning Networks, VLEs vs PLEs and other related topics, as a contribution toward her unkeynote with Ricardo Torres Kompen for the PLEconference in Aviero, Portugal this week.

Everyone has one - a personal learning environment, that is. We all learn. We all use tools to help us learn. We all use tools to help us learn. Mine will be different to yours, because my choices and preferences about what and how I learn are different to yours. Some will be reading books, or Kindles.
I watched this morning's PLEconference (#pleconf) unkeynote by Grainne Conole and Ricardo Torres Kompen, which was streamed live from Aveiro, in Portugal. In the same way, reciprocity learning relies on the willingness of both parties to give freely. Posted by Steve Wheeler from Learning with e's. Just saying.)
It was a gathering for learning technologists and educators from all around. It was great talking again with Colin Warren (@colwar) whom I first met face to face in Barcelona at last year's PLEconference, and to feel intuitively that we are kindred spirits.

If someone had called, I would have said that this is project has at it''s core a mistaken idea: that social media and personal learning networks can be directed from the top down. It''s because these are individual connections created by the individual, and that is their value: they are personal.

During the conference opening sessions we brainstormed as set of grassroots global education projects that we could bring to our personal learning networks to try to get started.

I usually run into them at conferences, and of course, a good way to create a memory is to get a picture taken with them. So I thought - perhaps I should write a blog series about the top ten photos and selfies of people I admire, and who have contributed significantly to my own learning. Far right is George Couros.

I have written a lot about Personal Learning Environments in the past, especially when they were emerging as a concept, and sounded quite new. There were posts about the Anatomy of PLEs , their functionality , their role as a counterpoint to the institutional Learning Management System, and also their relationship to MOOCs and Connectivism.
I first met Alec Couros among that amazing gathering of people at the inaugural PLE (Personal Learning Environment) conference in Barcelona, in 2010. Alec is very influential in the world of learning technology, and has a huge following on Twitter and other social media channels. Unported License.
''Students should be at the centre of learning'', declared Stephen Downes , ''because there is no other place they could possibly be.''

We all learn differently. Unfortunately, most of us are products of education systems that are based on the industrial model of education which is far removed from personalised learning. The personalised learning movement continues to grow in influence. Each of us has preferences. We are unique individuals. Unported License.
With the Southampton PLEConference #PLE_SOU at full throttle, I thought it would be a good time to reiterate my views on the personal web. Personal Web Tools (PWTs) are thought by some to be synonymous with PLEs (Personal Learning Environments) but the two should not be confused. Sound like a PLE?
