PLENK2010 COURSE THIRD DAY
I have been reading and discussing with friends about PLE and PLN on the forums provided by the course. This first week we are studying what PLEs and PLNs are. The definitions are temporary, they change according with new knowledge and research about them. I found out that one definition states: A PLE is a concept, an idea, a meme. In other words the system which surrounds the learners and helps them to learn.
In that sense we may say that PLE started with civilization, more than 7000 years ago, between the limits of ancient Mesopotamia and Anatolia, when people with the discovery of Agriculture were able to have time to think about themselves and the meaning of things.
Aristotle with his peripatetic way of learning and teaching had his own PLE which was Nature and was literally his "environment" He might also had some writings and people to be in touch with.
Nowadays with new technologies, PLE concept is in constant evolution, Dave Cormier, a course facilitator said: The difference in the meaning of PLEs and PLNs is only semantic and maybe the P should be taken away.
In this video we can see what PLE with web2.0 technology can do for children.
