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.

Since we cannot experience everything, other people’s experiences, and hence other people,
become the surrogate for knowledge.

PLEs are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning. This includes providing support for learners to set their own learning goals, manage their learning; managing both content and process; communicate with others in the process of learning and thereby achieve learning goals.

Some advanced students during the PLE building self-orient and arrange content, knowledge and contacts in two different networks: personal and professional
The transition from PLE to PfLN passes through a middle step of PLN set up
This process is dynamic and continuously adapted to the present students’ interests
In some cases the boarders between PLN and PfLN are blurred, because of coincidence of personal and professional interests
PLE can be presented as a core for networks expanding

1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system
2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection
3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system. The nature and nomenclature of these connections may vary from site to site.”

• Back-channel chat where participants at conferences provide bursts of feedback regarding conference proceedings to both other conference participants, and to people who cannot attend the conference (Hargadon, 2009); or preceding a conference via keywords (Parry, 2008). Use Twitter during a webinar to post specific keywords denoted by a hash (#facebook), and then participants search on those keyword to see what other people in the webinar (at other locations) were saying about the topic.

• Use Twitter to “track” a word. This will subscribe you to any post that contains said word. So, for example, a student may be interested in how a particular word is used. They can track the word and see the varied phrases in which people use it. Or, they can track an event, a proper name, or a movie title. (Send the message “track ______” to Twitter) (Parry, 2008)
• Storytelling - George Mayo, an eighth grade English teacher, recently used Twitter as a tool to collaboratively write a story with his students. Mayo invited his students and students around the world via his Many Voices Twitter account to add to an ongoing story with individual "tweets." After six weeks and the help of more than 100 students and six different countries, the story was finished. (Parry, 2008)
