Learning in Community: Personal Stories of Connected Learning
This collection of ten personal stories features individuals who use their personal passions to engage with their communities. The spotlight shines on a variety of communities, which range from instructional groups of cello players to virtual marginalized communities of youtubers who share Bollywood dance routines online. Each personal story showcases an individual who either is a part of a community or created one themselves in order to engage with other people with similar passions.
These personal stories provide glimpses into the ways that individuals immerse themselves into communities where the combined efforts of the entire group create shared spaces of learning built upon the foundation of their communal passions.
