This document discusses personal learning environments (PLEs). It defines a PLE as an individualized approach to learning using digital tools, rather than a single technology. Adopting PLEs will require shifting teacher attitudes toward technology. The document outlines the agenda, including discussing what kind of teacher you are and the networked student. It provides examples of student and classroom PLE dashboards and discusses building a culture where students habitually learn. Contact information is given for learning more about PLEs.
