John Seely Brown, Visiting Scholar, University of

Southern California

“…you can’t just drop new innovations into a classroom and hope

that the instructor will invent effective ways to use them. To fully utilize

a new teaching technology, you often

need to invent new teaching practices as

well.”

Community of Practice

• “communities of practice are formed by people who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared domain of human endeavor.” (Lave and Wegner)
