Some students will engage without much prompting, just because it is part of their personality.

However, what Ange has highlighted is correct. Community needs to be an integral part of the course. If discussion, collaboration, general chat is a peripheral activity then it is unlikely they will engage. It needs to be an embedded part of the course throughout the year. This means ongoing activities (but not the only activity) that require interaction.

I think that they have to see a reason or the value in engaging with one another AND the teacher

... often bond over shared plans for the future.
i.e. knowing they're intending on going to the same universities/cities when they leave school. They sometimes make plans outside of class to meet up at open days once they know this

I made a table of ideas people came up with at the hui in 2020.

Which of these do we find useful, for developing the sense of interconnectedness and valuing the community

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At our recent NetNZ hui I facilitated a discussion group. The topic was around 'Whanaungatanga'. Now this is a word that has quite deep meanings in Te Ao Māori and we need to spend time unpacking this as an organisation. To my understanding, and I have much to learn in this area, it comes down to a sense of kinship and belonging developed through shared experiences.

We spent some time discussing:
What does this idea mean and why is it important?
What are the strategies that we have tried?
How do we know when it's working?
Any other ideas we had.

This is completely raw data. I would like to make a thematic analysis at some stage to make more sense of the common threads and key ideas.

I just loved the sharing of practice, across a number of learning areas I might add.

It seems that we already have many parallels with the concept of 'Networked Learning'.

What are your thoughts? Does this spur any thoughts? Can you build on these ideas?

Feel free to add these in the comments below.
