Yet more on Personal Learning Environments

May 7th, 2007

I am in Odense, Denmark at a conference organised by the University of South Denmark on Scaffolding learning - web 2.0 and e-portfolios. I gave a presentation on Personal Learning Environments. The presentation focuses on the different ways in which people are using Web 2.0 technologies for social networking and creating and sharing. It goes on to assert that this is a major challenge to the future of education systems and institutions which are in danger of becoming irrelevant to the ways in which young people live and create and share ideas and knowledge. The final section of the presentation outlines the ideas behind the PLE- with the PLE being seen as a concept rather than a particular substantiation of technology.
