As I argued in a previous post , learning must be differentiated, because one size does not fit all, and standardised curricula and testing are not fit for purpose in the 21st Century. Personal learning is unique to each learner. Thirdly, learning needs to be globalised. Posted by Steve Wheeler from Learning with e's.

How do you represent your learning? Some people display framed certificates on their walls, or photos of their degree ceremony. For me, another powerful representation of my personal learning can be found in public speaking. Learning is symbolic, but can also be demonstrated in so many practical ways.

I have written a lot about Personal Learning Environments in the past, especially when they were emerging as a concept, and sounded quite new. PLEs could be created by anyone, using just about any tool or technology, and we expanded the idea to embrace other elements such as real experiences and people (Personal Learning Networks).
