The teacher introduces the idea of a Personal Learning Environment, including that we all have a PLE, whether consciously or otherwise. She / he explains the importance and relevance of PLEs for apprentices and also that a PLE includes learning from all sources and contexts, not only formal and academic learning.

Students are given an AI sheet of flipchart paper and marker pens and are asked to draw a diagram of their own PLE.

After completion each participant is invited to present their PLE diagram to the group as a whole and group members are encouraged to ask questions.

Following the introduction, and while the participants are producing their PLE diagrams, the teacher should circulate, supporting participants when they are unsure and asking questions to help participants understand the many different ways in which they learn, including informal learning or learning form artefacts, for instance books (which many people forget!).

The teacher has an important role in encouraging and facilitating the exploration of individual PLEs by the group in the presentation and feedback session. The teacher may also take photographs of completed PLE diagrams to produce a digital record of the activity.
