The document discusses using Web 2.0 environments and professional networks for competence development and professional networking. It describes how personal learning environments (PLEs) help learners manage their own learning goals and content. Some advanced students arrange content and contacts into personal and professional networks, with the transition from PLE to professional learning network (PfLN) supporting lifelong learning. Building a PLE provides a core for expanding networks and socialization processes that allow learners to share and reuse resources.

Some advanced studentsduring 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 (Malinka Ivanova, 2011) PLE can be presented as a core for networks expanding The PLE building supports students in socialization and network processes set up Professional Network Organizing (Malinka Ivanova,2011)

Conclusion • A modelfor PLE building is proposed This includes providing support for learners to set their own learning goals, manage their learning; managing both content and process. • Social networks contribute to the processes by which learners meet and communicate, and pool, share, learn about and reuse their resources, knowledge and competencies • The transition from PLE to PfLN is an important step that supports students to become self-organized and life-long learners
