This paper aims to determine its influence in the learning processes in English in Basic Elementary school. It starts with a review of theory that shows some practices and contributions in the educational context, followed by the demonstration of an experience applied to a group of students between the ages of seven and nine, in order to corroborate their range. Based on the methodological framework, an applied research design is implemented through participatory action research (PAR). The analysis of qualitative data was performed using the participant observation technique, and the quantitative data were analyzed based on the implementation of a survey that made it possible to identify the progress made in the learning processes focused on communication skills. The experience was implemented through an environment that concentrated individual and collaborative learning experiences by means of workshops, content and resources for textual, graphic and audiovisual production. Thus, it gives meaning to the information received, what is built from one's own interests, what is learned and how each individual becomes visible to others both in the virtual and face-to-face world. Thus, the importance of PLE (Personal Learning Environment) in education becomes evident, as well as how each person is capable of using different information to produce knowledge, strengthen communicative and technological skills, and impact other dimensions of the human being, where technology is a mediator of interaction spaces.

Keywords : PLE; communication skills; information; teaching.
