Abstract
Personal Learning Environments (PLE) have been related to self-regulated learning by highlighting their possibilities for autonomy in one's own processes as well as by influencing metacognitive skills of planning, execution and reflection. Among all the platforms, blogs and microblogs have been the protagonists due to their flexibility and capacity to adapt to numerous designs, and electronic portfolios among them. Research has shown the possibilities of Blogger for the creation of reflective portfolios and Twitter for the extension of personal learning networks. In this experience, a complex and global activity is proposed in which both platforms are approached for the construction of an electronic portfolio that contemplates a harmonic phase of reflexive cohesion and another more distributed phase of shared and networked reflection. With an interpretative approach, the PLE diagrams by students are analyzed and their perceptions are collected through an online questionnaire. The results show that the strategy is valid and that it allows the development of metacognitive planning and execution skills with both platforms, although the reflective ones are developed preferably in blogs.
