visual storyteller. One, I need to make something that you couldn’t make with a mobile phone. I could make a print that lasts 200 years for instance. Number two, I needed to be trusted and credible. And number three, I needed to be heard.

Being part of online networks linked by passion or cause or course or anything else, can mean a long term supportive relationship with people but it takes time to learn how to do that, and it would help if it was taught explicitly to school students but in context.

how do we propagate and sustain interest driven learning?
-
Interesting choice of words--propagate. There are lots of ways to propagate. And like the biological world some of them are a real pain in the ass. Take the pawpaw tree. Please. In order to fruit (seed propagate) it has to have a very specific carrion fly to get into its flower (as I recall anyway, I am not a botanist, YMMV). If it doesn't, then no fruit. Luckily the tree also propagates rhizomatically. So...in learning terms we need to be prepared for difficult propagation and easy propagation. And these vary wildly from discipline to discipline.
