Citation: Lisa Dawley, (2009) "Social network knowledge construction: emerging virtual world pedagogy", On the Horizon, Vol. 17 Iss: 2, pp.109 - 121. Abstract: the purpose of this paper is to identify and explore the dynamics of an emerging form of teaching and learning - social network knowledge construction - associated with the use of social networks, particularly 3D virtual world environments such as Second Life. As social network technologies not only frame the way individuals interact and learn, but actually impact on a learner's thinking process and development of future consciousness, new pedagogies are needed to effectively integrate these communication mechanisms into the learning environment.

Does Connectivism continue to play an important role in the development and emergence of new pedagogies, where control is shifting from the tutor to an increasingly more autonomous learner
