It's a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming."

Presentation at the PLE Conference 2013 - Berlin (10-12th July, 2013)
Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) only seems to be personal, but from a practice-oriented view it is an ongoing process of social interactions and negotiations. In this presentation Sabine Reisas talked about why context matters, outlined views on context and their implications for developing pedagogical concepts. This is part of her dissertation. The title of this presentation provokates, but shows the contradictions between the aspects "personal", social and materiality. These aspects should be considered when we are talking about and doing research of PLEs.
