For example: outdoor technology-enhanced playful learning environments (PLEs) were designed and implemented in some schoolyards in Finland, where Finnish scholars advanced a number of learning-by-play theories, from dedicated institutes such as the University of Helsinki’s Playful Learning Center.
The changes our students need require the type of courage, coalition building and focus demonstrated by participants in the University of Virginia’s Partnership for Leaders in Education (UVA-PLE). William Robinson is executive director of the University of Virginia Partnership for Leaders in Education (UVA-PLE). That must change.
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. The PLE is an approach rather than a technology.
The personal learning 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.
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 (Personal Learning Environments) but the two should not be confused. Sound like a PLE? Almost, but not quite.
Ideally, being a thought ahead of learners (anticipating the question or the problem) is related, but what you do to address these is the critical point.While we can "solve any problem" with technology (just go with it), identifying the problems is more of the issue than using the tools.In Are we edu technology innovators?
One challenge for education providers is to decide whether they will support the desire of students to self regulate their learning activities using personal technologies. A number of collaborative and social networking tools regularly play a role within the average student PLE. Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 17 (3), 183-193.
Check out this little gem from Dan Kennedy on the VLE/PLE debate. Over time game consoles and video games have been portrayed as a male oriented technology.

It was great talking again with Colin Warren (@colwar) whom I first met face to face in Barcelona at last year's PLE conference, and to feel intuitively that we are kindred spirits. Even Shelley Gibb (@mollybob) put in a surprise but very welcome appearance, all the way over from Sydney. Good on ya mate!

Do you get excited and energized by talking with other educators about technology tools and resources? No homework, no assignments, no cost—just an hour online, once a month to listen, share and discuss technology tools for your classroom, websites and more. Steve Hargadon will interview Kevin Kelly on his book What Technology Wants.
I have followed his work for some time, but the first time I met Harold was at the Learning Technologies event in London in 2013. I first met Joyce at the first Personal Learning Environment (PLE) conference in Barcelona in 2009 and we have been friends ever since. I also met George for the first time at the Barcelona PLE event.

I attended the first ever Personal Learning Environments conference in Barcelona, about 5 years ago, and spent three glorious days in the sun, learning from others about the PLE and how it would revolutionise learning. We were all excited about the potential of PLEs, their subversive nature and their inherent informality.
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 Professor of educational technology at the University of Regina in Canada.
He argued that in the new learning ecology, where technology can connect students to any others, and any content, any where in the world, is one in which content must change.

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? What tips you you have for people wanting to invest in emerging technology? Unported License.
Among his many projects, Graham was instrumental in launching the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) Conference, a global event that showcases research and practice in student centred pedagogy, and Sounds of the Bazaar - a live, internet radio programme that promoted open learning in all its forms.

There are all sorts of possibilities thanks to new technologies. Although distance education has been in existence for more than a century, the various technological means by which it can now be conducted have advanced quickly.
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.
Personal learning environments reach beyond the technologies institutions provide - especially virtual learning environments/managed learning environments. These become personal windows on the world, enabling them to drill down and investigate for themselves, the finer details of content they need to learn.
In other words, they need technologies that are networked. To learn at this level of individualisation, the learner requires several things. Firstly, they need a set of tools they can use to access knowledge, and to communicate with others. They need to be able to connect with experts, peers and content.
