The document discusses creating a personal learning environment (PLE) using emerging technologies. A PLE helps a learner manage their own learning, while a personal learning network (PLN) refers to individuals that share ideas and resources. The document provides suggestions for using tools like social networks, forums, blogs, bookmarks, and documents to gather resources, organize information, engage with others, and present materials as part of a PLE. These emerging technologies allow learners to take control of their education.
