I think both Twitter and PLN are helps me to improve my knowledge, we are living in the networked society, we cannot leave no network, we can learn more knowledge through the network. In fact, in our reading a link on twitter, we will gradually accumulation of knowledge. Web tools created for the purpose of learning personal network, use of the personal network can help us as a molecular study of the global community at the same time, to strengthen the communication with others, to expand our space and time and opportunity to learn and improve our reflection.PLN build is also can expand the scope of our study group, let us can learn to different places on the Internet, the idea of different people. As long as we can communicate through the network knowledge.

Fett Gail DE thinks, "personal learning environment is free to collect, publish, web-based tools, usually centered on the Blog, using an RSS reader and simple HTML collection of self-guided learning style."
Personal learning environment provides learners with not only a belongs to own personalized learning space, but also provides a way to connect with other learners, and makes the learners can share exchange together across time and space boundaries, make learning become more open. I will add this in my PLE， research train of thought for the center with real transition to the research train of thought for the center with system. From the research scope to expand, on the one hand, can be integrated with other learning environment study, at present about personal learning environment into the learning management system or the study of network course learning system has just beginning. On the other hand can go deep into the learning level study, and to explore its impact on learners' learning, and reveals the essence of learning and the function, meet the needs of learners and development. We live in a diverse world, need more understanding and learning, in order to better improve our PLE. When we are in the network learning and network knowledge classification yourself, actually we are learning about becoming a digital citizen.
