Presentation at the PLE Conference 2013 - Berlin (10-12th July, 2013)
Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) only seems to be personal, but from a practice-oriented view it is an ongoing process of social interactions and negotiations. In this presentation Sabine Reisas talked about why context matters, outlined views on context and their implications for developing pedagogical concepts. This is part of her dissertation. The title of this presentation provokates, but shows the contradictions between the aspects "personal", social and materiality. These aspects should be considered when we are talking about and doing research of PLEs.
Great collection of publications (sienctific paper, blog articles, wiki pages, presentations) related to Personal Learning Environments from Ilona Buchem.

Quote of the description of the video by David Gauntlett: "Presentation by David Gauntlett, Professor of Media at University of Westminster, about his forthcoming book 'Making is Connecting', which connects Web 2.0 with craft, activism, happiness and social capital studies, William Morris, and Ivan Illich."
Quote of the video description from Wendy Drexler: "The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes during fall 2008. It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler's high school students. The Networked Student concept map was inspired by Alec Couros' Networked Teacher. I hope that teachers will use it to help their colleagues, parents, and students understand networked learning in the 21st century.

"Learning and education are experiencing a period of profound transformation. Phenomena such as globalization, increasing trends to outsource high-level cognitive tasks, and the need to participate effectively in addressing complex world problems are changing how we think, learn, work, and collaborate. These challenges create new educational demands: students need to be educated for a diverse, technical, problem-oriented world that does not yet exist. It is imperative that students become self-directed, lifelong learners who can thrive and participate in collaborative environments with ever-changing disciplinary boundaries.
New technologies create learning opportunities that challenge traditional schools and colleges by creating new learning niches that enable people of all ages to pursue learning on their own terms, pursuing their particular goals and interests, and taking responsibility for their own learning. Fostering this kind of long tail inspired, rather than curriculum driven learning requires a rethinking of education. This symposium will explore the articulation, design, and assessment of innovative conceptual frameworks, new learning environments and new learning organizations to foster the social imagination of all stakeholders"
