 * Transformative Web 2.0 Tools**

//**1. Wiki**// media type="youtube" key="-dnL00TdmLY&rel=1" height="353" width="425" In the past, a person's professional learning environment (PLE) was built around formal course work, conferences, workshops, literature, and possibly a list-serv or two. Today, technology has flattened the world allowing for a richer PLE and PLN: management of time that is efficient and effective, connection to a global network of learners, access to informal and formal learning opportunities 24/7, and production of diverse, interactive content.
