PLTS stand for Personal Learning Thinking Skills. Whenever you do some learning, you do some thinking and use some skills. Sometimes its hard to actually say what thinking and skills you have used… PLTS help you do this. 

PLTS come under six headings – Independent Enquiry, Creative Thinking, Reflective Learning, Effective Participation, Self Managing and Team Working.

In any lesson you may use many of these at once. But its important to be aware of when you are using them. Its also important to think about how and why you are using them, and, if you can, improve the way you use them…

    Looks great, Ben – definitely worth exploring. Very user-friendly and straight forward.
    It’ll be interesting to see how is can be linked into school VLEs and e-portfolio work – looks like this would be simple.
    Nice one!
    I love WordPress blogs – they’re very ‘clean’ and well designed, aren’t they?
