We are immersed in such a system where everything is labeled with their established value socially constructed. Even human beings were not able to get rid from this tough fact, why i am saying that? Ok, i will make a question: what is better: to be a cook, street cleaner, a musician, agriculture or a doctor? It is obvious that what comes to our mind it is a "Doctor" , then i will ask why? Maybe because doctors save people's life, come on man. Can you imagine our life without the street cleaners? It would be a great disaster, streets will be a suitable place for bacterias, after that you can not imagine the increase of diseases. If a doctor looks for a cure for a disease the street cleaner prevents us from diseases. Then, why we prefer doctors, why they receive the most respect from us, why we want our kids to be doctors? Those are the labels i am talking about, which jail our minds and hide the real essence of a human being. But there is a clue to understand all the previous facts Money- Money? isn't that money which designs our life?... if that is everyone's main aim, as a result the whole system would be nothing more than a failure.

Once we made these clarifications, if a teacher does not agree with the system will he adapt to the system ending taking "ibuprofeno" depressed or he will change his surrounding to make in practice in harmony with his ideas? That's it is the teacher's business. But obviously this decision will have an impact on reality, putting in danger the happiness of students who we have between our hands. It is a serious decision as you can see, students are not anymore empty recipients( Jose Antonio Gómez,2017) to be filled by knowledge which owns the teacher. If they told you so, if they told you that only you learn  in the school...then make sure they tried to sell you a truth being aware or not. Get to know what is a PLE and judge by your-self! Getting in sight into this concept apart from making you aware of your learning you are passing through it enables you to reflect about the lacks of your learning ( Reflection, creation, reading, discussion...) as well as the aim of education, the methodologies carried out in classroom,tools, services, social net work in education...(Castañeda y Adell,2013) having a chance to improve constantly our teaching-learning process.

Nowadays, with huge and diverse amount of data it has no sense to talk about an a total and complete truth. That's idea change the way we learn in school, now it is necessary to acquire abilities as learning to learn, creation, taking benefits from all the services that society give us, reflection in order to think by our-selves and do not be the other's puppet without our permission. For what is useful to record information in our minds if that information is already recorded in different formats and above all it will be forgotten later?

Internet is the great landmark for the human being, it had diversified us more than before. So that everyone is full of information, abilities, and talents...our rol is to make this grow, but that is possible with the same tool of evaluation as long as students are different from each other, we should take into account that the learning is personal, people are designed to be different from each other and unique... who we are to tell them what is good and what is bad, what they have to learn and what not?...

Each student is different because of : the sources of education he has access to, the social connections he has (people are a great capital too) How many times we read a book because was  a friend's recommendation? How many times from a discussion you felt interested into a subject and you start investigating? And thanks to these huge social network, these interactions are bigger and bigger.

As a conclusion, PLE is a complex concept, in this essay i miss reflection and creation, only people who experienced that can have a position as well as to show it to the rest of people.

Thank you so much for all, have an amazing weekend!!!:-)

Hello everyone!! I am Carmen Díaz and this week I am in charge of this role.🙌
We are nearly finishing this course, and I am really happy, but a bit sad too, because this is ending.😕

I like this role because you have to make a reflection about the task in order to select the most appropriate five concepts. I hope that these concepts help you understand better a Personal Learning Environment.

•  Personal Learning Environment (PLE): A PLE is different for every single person, because it is something of your own, that you create and you shape day by day. It is made up of different elements, such as; activities, learning strategies, reflections, sources of information and resources. a PLE is really important because it is what you use to learn, all of the things that you put together in order to learn new things. So it is what you normally use in your day by day to learn, like sources of information (internet, books, experts...), who do you learn from, where do you usually learn, your own organization or planning, and so on. So, it is like your planning in order to learn (the steps that you follow). It also includes your objectives, your goals, your reflections and all of the processes involved.

•  Sources of information: sources of information are very important for your PLE, because they will determine your knowledge in some way. The more wider and different sources you use, the more information you can get, so you can contrast them, and, therefore your knowledge would increase.
  Some sources are: books, experts, family, peers, teachers, internet (articles, journals, videos, news, essays, dictionary, free books, and so on), mobile phone  (applications), newspapers... 

•  Reflection: reflections are a meaningful way of improving your processes, objectives, goals, and therefore, your PLE.
  By reflecting you think critically, you evaluate yourself, you compare what you are doing with what you want to do,  what you want to get, or how far you want to go.
  We must reflect in order to improve our actions, our goals.
  Reflecting about our PLE means that we know what we are doing, how we are doing it, what we are using for it, and how far we want to go.

• Lacks: after we reflect, we need to think about what things or actions we are missing, what we need to include in order to improve our PLE, and therefore, ourselves. We can ALWAYS improve, so that means that we will probably always have lacks in something, so the best way to know this is to reflect and think about what things do you need in order to improve.

•  Technology: we have many different apps, web pages, and resources that helps us day by day with our learning. Technology is CRUCIAL. We use it everyday, for lots of different things. So, many people, including myself, use technology in their PLE, because it is an easier and faster way of organizing, of finding information, of planning, and it is really entertaining too. Some web pages: thinglink, blogs, Wikipedia, youtube... 

Thank you for your time! Have a nice day 💛

Hi ArchiLearners!!!👷🏼👷🏼

The task of this week consists of preparing three different PLE (Personal Learning Environment) each one should represent the ways and the resources that three of us use to learn,  not only to learn  contents such as behaviourism theories of learning but also what they do or who they ask when they want to prepare a cake or to make a wonderful hairstyle.

Here there are the PLE that we have prepared on Wednesday´s lesson:

Hi everyone!!🙋🙋

My name is Carmen Albaladejo and during this week I have been the ArchiTeachers´facilitator. The truth is that this week we do not have too much work to do because on Monday it was celebrated the Worker´s Day and we did not have classes so then we did not  have to present any task  on  Wednesday 🎉🎉🎊🎊. Thanks to that we can have enjoyed a relaxing week in which we have charged  energy to the last weeks for this course and to the last weeks of our first years at the University. We can more and more close to be TEACHERS.💪

The only thing that I have done as a real facilitator this week has been to organize and allocate the roles to each one of the group for this week and the following one.

Bye, ArchiLearners!! This has been my last post as facilitator I hope you have enjoyed a lot and do not forget that as ArchiLearners we are building our future day by day, brick by brick. 👷

Welcome back to our blog! 👋
I am Mª del Mar and this week I am the journalist.

📷 

This week was a bit strange and short, from my point of view, because we weren't asked for doing any task on Monday. As a result, the week started a bit relaxed and we only met on tuesday for revising the tasks we will use for our e-Portfolio.

😥

On wednesday, Linda comes to the class and show us a video of her explaining what is personal learning environment. After that, from each group, we were asked to choose 2 or 3 members for creating their PLE and I have to say that it was very entertaining.

I was one of the people chosen for doing it. Thanks to it, I was able to concern myself a bit more how important are the rechnologies in my life and its uses but it is a bit complicated.
Here you can see my own PLE where I wrote about my applications, where I use them, a bit of reflexion, somes of my lacks and why they are useful for me:

Actually, this week worked very well and I hope the following weeks work like this one. 

Hope you enjoy it!

SEE YOU SOON ARCHILEARNERS!𐇖
