Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to offer language teachers a series of tools and practical guidelines for improving their usage of the online environment. We will cover mainly two coordinates. Firstly, we will study the concept of Personal Learning Network (PLN). In this respect, we will present an example of how to create such a network, both from the perspective of the teachers (for their own learning) and also from the perspective of the learners (how a teacher can help the learner build a PLN). Secondly, we will focus on one of the greatest challenges for teachers and learners today: how to make the most of the online language resources available. If in the past the challenge was to find any resources on the internet, the challenge of our day is to select quality resources and to ensure that the learners have access to learning material that is relevant to their needs.
