I was asked by Grainne Conole to record a short video on my views about PersonalLearning Networks, VLEs vs PLEs and other related topics, as a contribution toward her unkeynote with Ricardo Torres Kompen for the PLE conference in Aviero, Portugal this week. Posted by Steve Wheeler from Learning with e's.
The personallearning environment (PLE) is still a bone of contention. Over at the Open University of Catalonia, in Barcelona, Ismael Peña-López has been doing some stirling work on theories surrounding Vygotsky's learning model and PLEs. For me, the PLE is peculiar to the individual who makes it.
Now, you're probably wondering how YouTube could possibly be used to capture your learning in a PersonalLearning Environment (PLE). This idea came to me after my daughter explained how she was using her YouTube Channel. Her school does not have a formal music program. She studied piano outside of school for 4 years.
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. The PLE is an approach rather than a technology. Idiosyncratic. Individual.
Those who are involved in the ''do it yourself'' approach to learning will tell you that there is quite a struggle going on right now between institutions and individuals over what tools to use for the serious business of lifelong learning.

With the Southampton PLE Conference #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 (PersonalLearning Environments) but the two should not be confused. Sound like a PLE?
Everyone has one - a personallearning 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 PLE conference (#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.)
If someone had called, I would have said that this is project has at it''s core a mistaken idea: that social media and personallearning 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.
For my class I am taking I was asked to visually represent Connectivism, Communities of Practice (CoP), and PersonalLearning Environments (PLE). For this activity I created a board game prototype to allow you to move around the board as you engage with the images. To play the game, make a copy of the game […].

During the plenary session I was asked by a delegate to explain the difference between 'personallearning' and 'personalised learning'. Unported License.

I have written a lot about PersonalLearning Environments in the past, especially when they were emerging as a concept, and sounded quite new. We were all excited about the potential of PLEs, their subversive nature and their inherent informality. What is your experience of using PLEs in your own learning?
''Students should be at the centre of learning'', declared Stephen Downes , ''because there is no other place they could possibly be.'' Downes was speaking at the ELI 4th International Conference on e-Learning and Distance Education held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Posted by Steve Wheeler from Learning with e''s. Unported License.
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. On the left of the picture is Harold Jarche , who is chair of the Internet Time Alliance and a champion of social learning. Far right is George Couros. Unported License.
I first met Alec Couros among that amazing gathering of people at the inaugural PLE (PersonalLearning 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.
I first met Graham at an event in the UK around 2006, just when I was becoming aware of the potential of social media such as wikis, blogs and social networking platforms as a learning tools. He also heads up the European research agency Pontydysgu (A Bridge to Learning). Posted by Steve Wheeler from Learning with e's.
I attended an event in Utrecht, in the Netherlands way back in 2007, at around the time that social media was emerging as a serious learning technology. Together for two days, we discussed how digital technologies and networks could support learning. That's what a community is, and should be - sharing and learning together.
The video below is the result of that interview, in which I answer questions such as: what emerging technology trends have the greatest potential for learning? and should we be waiting until our learners adopt new technology or should we be leading the way as learning providers?

This is a metaphor for personalised learning, with the personallearning environment supporting an individual's learning. There is plenty of opportunity to deviate from prescribed educational processes, which leads to endless possibilities for personal research and digressions into uncharted territory.
We all learn differently. Everyone of us has individual needs and personal requirements. 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.
