Starting the notion of spaces, rather than community, [Paul Gee] argues, can give us an analytical lens with which to examine classrooms and the activities that occur within them without the baggage that community of practice brings with it.

new research suggests that even before 2-year-olds speak in full sentences, they are able to understand grammatical construction and use it to make sense of what they hear.
- Keith Hamon on 31 Aug 11
  
  To my mind, this suggests a fairly universal principle about how we learn any new language: we first immerse ourselves in it, attune ourselves to its structure and content and social rules, and only after this do we begin to create our own utterances in the group, using the language of the group to discuss the topics of the group.

they too seek not to proclaim what they know, but rather to engage and share with others as they explore and come to understand technology and related trends.
- Keith Hamon on 24 Aug 11
  
  This seems to me at the heart of ASU's QEP: helping students engage and share with others their exploration of some topic, rather than a demonstration of what they think the teacher wants them to know. This does not suggest that QEP opposes or ignores the need to validate learning; rather, that isn't our focus. We're all about writing to learn-not writing to demonstrate learning.

the ""thin portfolio" concept (borrowing from the prior "personal information aggregation and distribution service" concept) represents the idea that you don't need that portfolio information in one server; but that it is very helpful to have one place where one can access all "your" information, and set permissions for others to view it. This concept is only beginning to be implemented."

This paper therefore proposes a research framework for connectivism that integrates approaches commonly used in online learning environments. The paper integrates the theories of online communities of practice, design-based research, and activity theory to construct a research framework that is characterised by a synergistic relationship between them.

Collins … theorizes about the rituals by which people interact with others, from large groups, to person-to-person relationships, to the imaginary conversations that a person engages in his or her mind. … When people interact their shared attention trains each other to be in a group with a shared purpose.

Explicit instruction makes children less likely to engage in spontaneous exploration and discovery. A study by MIT researchers and colleagues compared the behavior of children given a novel toy under four different conditions, finding that children expressly taught one of its functions played with the toy for less time and discovered fewer things to do with it than children in the other three scenarios.
