The document outlines a roadmap for developing web2.0-based personal learning environments (PLEs) in educational settings, emphasizing student control in their learning processes. It highlights the challenges faced by both students and teachers in adopting PLEs and proposes a framework centered on the students' roles as decision makers, knowledge developers, and socializers. The work further examines the integration of web2.0 tools and the need for a pedagogy-driven approach to enhance project-based and technology-enhanced learning activities.

- 2. 2Challenge the future Main features of PLEs 1- PLE refers to the process that students construct their learning environment by the tools they choose, the communities they start and join, the resources they assemble, and the things they write (Wilson, 2008). 2- PLE is an important output of the students’ learning process (Drexler, 2010). 3- The conceived goal of PLEs is to transfer the control of learning to students (Attwell, 2007; Downes, 2006).
