PERSONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
BY SINDI GRANADOS

3. PLE
Are systems that help students create their own
learning, using social networks and internet accounts
stimulating learning in itself.

4. FACEBOOK
Facebook is a social networks , that helps us to have a
communication with people around the word, so my purpose to
use Facebook is to have communication with my family that is
in other country, and also to meet new people, specially English
speakers, to practice my English with them
And I also use Facebook as a tool that help me to be
connected with my classmates and to work in our homeworks
because, there we have a group which have been created with
the purpose to help us in our homeworks. It is like a student
group online.

5. TWITTER
It is a social network that helps us to show our
personal tastes, meaning that, through Twitter
I can show what I like, following pages or
people that I am interest on.

6. MY BLOGGER
I created my Blogger with the purpose of
showing my homework to my classmates or
other people who are interested to gain
knowledge, through my blogger. So I think the
Blogger is used to present information about a
particular topic.

7. YOU TOBE
It is a social network that helps me to watch instructional
videos for a better understanding of the theory, and for
learning how to do something better. But also, I use it to
listen to music, most of the time in English to increase
my vocabulary.

8. HOTMAIL
It is an internet account that I use to send and receive
messages and I consider this is like a big mail box that
save the e-mails or others social networks.

9. Google
This is an internet account that I use to learn, because it`s
like a big book where I can find a lot of information about
everything that I need, and I think that with Google I have
access to all type of information.

10. GMAIL
Is an electronic mail service, I use Gmail because for me
this is a source of emails that I can send and receive
messages and documents, which can be from friends, family
or classmates. So, for me Gmail is very useful to exchange
information.

11. All the social networks and internet account have been
created with the purpose of improving the lifestyle of
people, so that have changed the way of searching
information and it has become easier, and funny too, so
with the help of social networks learning has become
easier.
