Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) are gaining increasing interest because they provide a flexible way to better match students' needs. The main in using widely a PLE is the danger of the owner being unable to discriminate sound contents from groundless or wrong ones. The paper describes an experience where students were taught how to build a PLE in order to strengthen their understanding of Mathematics. The paper focuses on two aspects: fostering and strengthening the creation of critical sense in teenaged students when building their PLE, and overcoming personal difficulties and misunderstandings about Mathematics with a PLE. Gaining such skills will be extremely useful for improving students' personal and working life, in a Lifelong Learning perspective. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2013.

Abstract
Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) are gaining increasing interest because they provide a flexible way to better match students' needs. The main in using widely a PLE is the danger of the owner being unable to discriminate sound contents from groundless or wrong ones. The paper describes an experience where students were taught how to build a PLE in order to strengthen their understanding of Mathematics. The paper focuses on two aspects: fostering and strengthening the creation of critical sense in teenaged students when building their PLE, and overcoming personal difficulties and misunderstandings about Mathematics with a PLE. Gaining such skills will be extremely useful for improving students' personal and working life, in a Lifelong Learning perspective. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2013.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
