This has been accomplished by an in-depth review of the literature on teacher’s socially situated competencies and roles with regard to the tasks and guidance they provide to students shape their PLEs . Review process provides an insight of PLE research studies, constructivist learning theories, and teacher changing roles . The results of this study outline the roles that portray the importance of teacher competencies as role in Planning and Design, Instruction and Learning, Communication and Interaction, Management and Administration, and Use of Technology.  \nKeywords  \nPersonal learning environment ; teacher roles ; teacher competencies ; learning technologies ; collaborative learning  \nZaffar Ahmed Shaikh and Shakeel Ahmed Khoja 23  \nDigital Education Review – Number 21, June 2012-[http://greav.ub.edu/der/](http://greav.ub.edu/der/)  \nI. Introduction  \nCompetencies of teacher are challenged (Downes, 2010; Minocha et al. 2011; Alvarez, 2009; Thach & Murphy, 1995; Shaikh & Khoja, 2011; Selvi 2010) . There is a growing realization (e.g. see (Downes, 2010; Minocha et al. 2011; Alvarez, 2009; Thach & Murphy, 1995)) that traditional teaching competencies might not produce desired results in learner-controlled PLE settings . Focus on delivering content and information in the form of lecture-based environment is not as effective as when communication is mediated through technology. Teachers involved in teaching using face to face, distance, or online methods need help and support to identify new roles to be successful (Thach & Murphy, 1995) . Besides this, it is also expected from 21st century teachers to collaborate with all sectors of the educational community in planning, managing, implementing, and evaluating programs (Shaikh & Khoja, 2011; Selvi 2010) .  \nBy choice and demand, technology is restructuring education, teaching, and learning, and affects them in ways that impact on everyone (Minocha et al. 2011) . Teacher roles are changing rapidly than ever before, and new competencies are required all at a faster pace . McLoughlin & Lee (2010) and Drexler (2010) observed that free and easy availability of emerging learning technologies and social software have resulted complex and multifaceted challenges for teachers – including the provision of personalized learning experiences to students that cultivate their independent learning skills – besides scaffolding the learner reflection and the development of generic competencies . Väljataga & Laanpere (2010) found that the required pedagogical change involves not only importance of acknowledging learners’ existing skills and the adoption of appropriate teaching approaches, and awareness of learners’experiences, as well as integrating social media in ways that enable active participation, social interaction, global networking, and community connections . Teacher may not be the only expert during students’ learning processes, but he can still play key role in offering support in literacy skills and subject matter expertise, help them navigate the breadth of content and apply the technologies and tools properly (Drexler, 2010; Väljataga & Laanpere, 2010; Attwell, 2009) .  \nMany research studies have established critical role of teacher in PLE design and implementation, but only some of them have focused on investigating teacher roles and competencies . Hence, we argue that future PLE resea","cbCaisc6pVjQ6LiF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisc6pVjQ6LiF","pdf",326192,"English","# I. Introduction\n# II.
