Example community post and commentary

The online community allows for dynamic interaction between tasks, instructors and learners. Here we see a transfer of ideas from the MOOC to practice, as an idea used with university students is adapted for use in Year 2 Primary. There is reflection on the impact of using technology to provide a focus for children’s ideas. One teacher decides to make a drawing of one of the posted images and another reflects on the cross curricular potential of the digital artifact. This illustrates peer to peer knowledge transfer and is a good example of the interplay of talking and making. It also shows the continuous crossover between the real and the virtual worlds.
