This document discusses personal learning networks (PLNs) and their potential to transform learning. It defines a PLN as involving an individual's goal, practices for organizing relevant content sources to accomplish goals. PLNs are based on Web 2.0 and allow learning through connections with people, services and resources. The document outlines challenges of PLNs in challenging existing education systems and institutions, and argues that PLNs can develop dispersed, networked learning by utilizing various Web 2.0 tools and transforming how one acquires knowledge.

- 2. OUTLINE DEFINITION OF PLN THEAIM OF PLN THE DIFFERENT TOOLS THE CHALLENGE CONCLUSION
- 3. Aim To study theorganization of Personal Learning Networks (PLN) and to support the optimization of teachers’ efficacy and productivity
- 4. A personal orprofessional learning network (PLN) involves an individual’s topic-oriented goal, a set of practices & techniques aimed at attracting and organizing a variety of relevant content sources, selected for their value, to help the owner accomplish a professional goal or personal interest.
- 5. “the heart ofthe concept of the PLE is that it is a tool that allows a learner (or anyone) to engage in a distributed environment consisting of a network of people, services and resources. It is not just Web 2.0, but it is certainly Web 2.0 in the sense that it is (in the broadest sense possible) a read-write application.” Stephen Downes, 2006
- 6. The promise ofPersonal Learning Environments could be to extend access to educational technology to everyone who wishes to organise their own learning.

- 37. Personal Learning Environments Personal Learning Environment Personal Learning Network Personal WebTools Source: http://steve-wheeler.blogspot.com/2010/07/anatomy-of-ple.html PLEs are not only personal web tools and personal learning networks. PLEs are much wider than this, taking in experiences and realia, as well as learning through TV, music, paper based materials, radio & more formal contexts. Learning content is not as important now as where (or who) to connect to, to find it. PWTs are any web tools, (usually Web 2.0) chosen by learners to support their lifelong learning.

- 45. It is notthe development of technology per se which poses such a challenge to education systems and educational institutions
- 51. PLNs can developon the potential of services oriented architectures for dispersed and networked forms of learning and knowledge development.
- 52. Personal learning networkscan transform ones life and assist one in terms of acquiring knowledge from a deeper level of learning furthermore using different tools in the classroom with an aim of engaging pupils in the content.
