Summary:
In the article, Marin, Negre & Perez, the authors argue that a PLE and PLN are important for collaboration within students, and discuss its importance through a Virtual Learning Environment.  Their study of Primary Teachers “show that the students construct their PLE and PLN using newly acquired knowledge and that an appropriate methodological integration takes place between these environ- ments and the institutional VLE for integrated learning”.

Evaluation:
Much like we’ve learned through the last assignment, the Personal Learning Environment and Network, this article is great for the validity of the use of technology as a way to keep learning. At the same time, these tools are crucial for the collaboration of learning with other websites, other people.
