New technologies can not only replace traditional teaching tools, aids and methods, but also expand their possibilities with the elements of managing one?s own learning process, nearly unlimited possibilities when searching for information, communication and global cooperation. By new technologies we mean particularly mobile technologies represented by tablets or smartphones. Mobile technologies can be used in many organizational forms and in various kinds of education (museum education, non-formal education, informal learning, or Place-Based Learning). The Personal Learning Environment seems to be another effective way of interconnecting modern technologies with the pedagogical approach. This paper is aimed at the possibilities of the use of the Personal Learning Environment in the Czech school environment (upper primary school pupils) for teaching of natural sciences with the use of mobile technologies.
