PLEs are not only personal web tools and personal learning networks. PLEs
are much wider than this, taking in experiences and realia, as well as learning through TV, music, paper based materials, radio &
more formal contexts.
Learning content is not as important now as where (or who) to connect to, to
find it.
PWTs are any web tools, (usually Web 2.0) chosen
by learners to support their lifelong learning.
