The document discusses personal learning environments (PLEs) from a media educational perspective. It provides background on PLEs and outlines key concepts from literature on the topic. The analysis frames PLEs as activity systems and identifies core components of the PLE activity system including ownership, control, literacy, interest, participation, customization, social support, boundary crossing, and openness. It calls for further research focusing on practices that support changing roles within PLEs.

17. Personal Learning Environments & Media Education

18. Media Education Manifestoby Henry Jenkins“(…) we need to come up with evidence that media education actually works - that it can engage, challenge and motivate young people, as well as enabling them to understand and to participate more fully in the media culture that surrounds them.”URL: http://henryjenkins.org/2011/01/manifestos_for_the_future_of_m.html

19. Participatory Cultureby Henry Jenkins“We are using participation as a term that cuts across educational practices, creative processes, community life, and democratic citizenship. Our goals should be to encourage youth to develop the skills, knowledge, ethical frameworks, and self-confidence needed to be full participants in contemporaryculture.“ URL: http://ht.ly/6gnr4

21. Ecologicalapproachby Henry Jenkins“Rather than dealing with each technology in isolation, we would do better to take an ecological approach, thinking about the interrelationship among all of these different communication technologies, the cultural communities that grow up around them, and the activities they support.” URL: http://ht.ly/6gnr4
