With the advent of ICTs, we are increasingly exposed to information in the target language and start operating in different contexts and situations in our personal and professional life, which are no longer limited to our geographical location, classes, occasional workshops or professional development programs. We can acquire and learn much of the language online. The use of social media tools and platforms on the open Web can accelerate the learning process by giving us access to information, communities of practice and networks and enabling us to create and participate at our own time, in our own space and with whom we choose to communicate and collaborate.
In this presentation, we will explore the concept of personal learning spaces, the tools we can use to help our learners build them, communities of practice and networks and their role in language learning and practice. We will discuss how this digital immersion challenges us, EFL teachers, to review, expand and modify our ways of teaching and learning.

AIMS OF THIS SESSION
a) Show change in learning/teaching environmentand consequent change in affordances and context
b) Explain PLE (Personal Learning Environment)
c) E-challenges
AFFORDANCES
All "action possibilities" latent in the environment, objectively measurable and independent of the individual's ability to
recognize them, but always in relation to the actor and therefore dependent on their
capabilities. J.J. Gibson

PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER
Coverage model: Learning is not just about covering content; it's about negotiating mearning in different contexts and levels of discourse. Learning, then, is transformative rather than acquisitive.
Scarcity: Learning is not constrained by a scarcity model anymore.
Knowledge construction: Reasoning is not linear, deductive or abstract but begins from the concrete and assembles a “mosaic”.
Interactivity: This is a connected, interactive generation; collaboration and interaction are important learning principles.
Formal & informal: Learning can occur anywhere, anytime shaped by student needs and objectives in particular circumstances
It's not technology alone: Technology must support good pedagogy
NETWORKING
Thank you
