Ple_TT

Personal Learning Environments (Ple) have become personalized spaces for learning online or using web apps since the beginning of the XXI century, especially because it is created by every person in particular, without even knowing. Everything depends on each person's learning needs; that is the reason why our Ple is like our finger print. 

Some people have their Ple in their mind (they just use the website, link or app they usually go to) while others organize them in maps, lists, drawings, presentations an d others. 

I gathered my apps in a Focusky presentation in the follwing capture:

Innovation education for 2018

Our Don Simón Rodríguez ideas are more updated than ever

One of his most known sayings or proposals, "O inventamos, o erramos": "Either we invent, or err", expresses the core of innovation, which not only refers to simply invent something, but to create and make that creation work for our students. We teachers (specially language teachers) are always trying out new strategies and finding out new resources for our students to understand and learn, but we should share them with other colleagues to spread the word and help out others, which basically is the goal of innovation.This link provides some more ideas for innovations in education for 2018, but just as motivation, because it is us as teachers who innovate according to our students needs and circumstances.
