Research has clearly shown that functioning in a community can enhance the learning that occurs among community members (Hargis, 2005; Kember, 1987; Powers & Mitchell, 1997). While community has been defined in the education literature in many different ways (Boyer, 1995; Hill, 1996; McMillan & Chavis, 1986; Preece, 2000; Rogoff, 1994; Sergiovanni, 1994), below are elements of community frequently identified: 1) A sense of shared purpose 2) Establishment of boundaries defining who is a member and who is not 3) Establishment and enforcement of rules/policies regarding community behavior 4) Interaction among members, and 5) A level of trust, respect and support among community members"

"Have you ever Googled yourself ? Have you ever checked your virtual identity? Do you know that you leave a digital footprint every time you get online?

Great application for teaching the fundamentals of programming logic. Scratch has a "drop and drag" interface and "code" is created in the Scripts panel and allows a beginner to use more complex structures such as loops and if statements without actually having to know the "how's". I use this tool in the first 4 hours of teaching programming to beginners by teaching students how to make a simple fish game and then once they have these basic concepts understood, then build on their previous knowledge by teaching them how to make their own version of Pacman. So a highly recommended tool for all levels of students.
