Learning Community?
from Wikipedia: A learning community is a group of people who share common values and beliefs, are actively engaged in learning together from each other.
As educators, this used to happen only within our schools
With students, perhaps just neighborhood friends
NEIGHBORHOOD'S GOTTEN A WHOLE LOT BIGGER

Why Should our Students have Online Communities?
•Connection to Self◦In order for work to have real meaning, students must have a significant interest and even personal connection to the work. Without this, the work is artificial, forced, and carried out in isolation. Work WILL be Engaging
•Connection to Others◦An understanding that people are social by nature and therefore will be motivated by a collaborative curriculum.
MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS!• Work Must Be Meaningful or Purposeful◦ An acknowledgment that it is a fundamental and universal human desire for people to want to do
work that is meaningful or purposeful. People want a job to do and gain great satisfaction in doing that job.
• Work Must Have an Authentic Audience◦ In order for work to have real meaning, it must reach a true audience as well as have significant
impact on the world outside of the classroom.
• Work Must Be Lasting and Sustainable◦ In order for work to have real meaning, it should have permanence.
• Students will be Prepared◦ With Teachers along using the tools with them as role models/mentors
