Professional learning network
The document discusses professional networks and social applications as new opportunities for learners and educators. It describes how professional networks are focused on professional interactions rather than social interactions. It also explains how learners can build personal learning environments that integrate with their professional learning networks to gain professional information, contact experts, discuss interests, and stay informed on their field. Building personal learning environments can help students transition to becoming self-organized lifelong learners and members of professional learning networks.

- 18. CONCLUSION • A modelfor PLE building is proposed • The modified Rogers’ model for competence development lifecycle in a learning network is used in order to be examined the main phases in competence progress of each student • Social networks contribute to the processes by which learners meet and communicate, and pool, share, learn about and reuse their resources, knowledge and competencies • PLE building is found to be a core for PLN and PfLN deployment • The transition from PLE to PfLN is an important step that supports students to become self-organized and life-long learners
