Burleson, Wendy Ann2015-12-172015-12-1720152015-12-17http://hdl.handle.net/1828/6941As the information environment continues to become more vast and complex with mobile computing devices, social media, and online platforms, teachers are challenged to incorporate these tools in pedagogically-sound learning designs. This project explores the personal learning environment as a promising approach for developing critical information literacies and 21st century competencies, both of which are emphasized in British Columbia’s forthcoming new curriculum. This paper includes a conceptual review of the pedagogical and technological foundations of PLEs, practical examples from k-12 to post-secondary, and an examination of the roles of the teacher-librarian in a PLE followed by a teacher resource guide that explores the leadership roles of the teacher-librarian. As the PLE represents a relatively new approach with few empirical studies – and an approach with many possible iterations – this resource should be applied as an initial step toward implementation and as a foundation that may support future qualitative studies.enAvailable to the World Wide Webpersonal learning environment21st century learningself-regulationweb 2.0social mediateacher-librarianproject
