Personal Learning Environment
This term refers to a set of tools, resources, and strategies that a single person uses to carry out their learning process in the best way since everything included in their PLE are personalized things that a person knows will benefit them. Today, this PLE is dominated by digital tools and different learning methods that allow a student to have a constant educational process, which is dynamic and adapts to the needs and interests of the student.
A learning environment is different for each person because we all have different ways of learning and different goals to achieve with our education. However, all PLEs have general characteristics, these are:
-Each PLE is personalized, because it is designed to be used by a specific person, and is adapted to their way.
-It is flexible, each PLE can be formed at a certain point in our academic life, but it does not mean that for the rest of our studies, we must use the same tools, PLEs are very versatile and allow us to modify them whenever we want, either because our needs change or because we find new tools that are more useful to us.
-It is autonomous, all PLEs allow the student to learn independently, providing them with the necessary tools to acquire all the knowledge they want, whenever they want, and in the way that is facilitated.
-Finally, a PLE can be collaborative, it can be shared with other people and help them in their process, It also serves as an example or guide. (We will show you ours later!)
-Search: This section includes all reliable sources of information, and where we often find what we need, such as explanations, examples of a topic, and even visual elements.
-Create: This section includes all the tools we use to do our work, such as documents, presentations, essays, writings, videos, or images.
-Communicate: This section includes all the digital platforms we normally use to talk to other people in an educational context, such as teachers, if we have any questions or concerns, and colleagues, to exchange knowledge and strengthen ties.
-Publish: This section includes the apps or pages that the person uses to send or make their work known. These are the ones through which pending work or tasks are sent, such as a writing or project.
-Organize: The last section includes the tools used to maintain a certain organization when studying, whether to organize documents, write down pending tasks, or keep in mind important dates for work delivery or schedules in which you must do a specific thing. They are the ones that help you stay disciplined.

This helps us when we want to practice the language and learn new words or phrases to include in our vocabulary, and it is very useful to familiarize ourselves every day with this beautiful language, English. Use it! During your process of learning English, it will be very useful and you will have fun learning the language.
