Eichman - They provided definitions that differentiate the types of social learning environments.

Eichman - Both involve multiple people in the learning process as opposed to just the individual.

Lave and Wenger helped many companies and schools understand the significance of learning in social groups, and encouraged schools to teach their students learn to think like professionals.

Aislinn

They impacted learning by differentiating the social learning, with situated learning and communities in practice.

They helped separate the ideas of learning from being within a community, and learning directly through apprenticeship.

They highlighted the significance of an apprenticeship while keeping the importance of a community

Eichman - I can create learning practice groups in my classes.

Thomas

They help to understand learning being done outside of the classroom

One way could be putting students into partners and having them learn off each other

(One kid is really good at math and is tutoring the other kid who struggles with math or vice versa)

Josh- the main difference I discovered is that if there is an expert that is taking a primarily role as an instructor.

Izcalli: I think Lave is more focused on learning by experiencing the environment around you (like you’re letting your environment raise you) and maybe Wenger is more focused on the people around you.

# data[].attributes.body
Eichman - I can pair a more experienced student with a less experienced other to work on a project/assignment together so the less experienced individual can learn from them.

Leanna

Lave focuses on situational learning, Wenger focuses on communities of practice, and both emphasize learning is a group activity.

You can apply it by grouping students with similar skills or interests to work together.This builds relationships and opens the door to different perspectives.

# data[].attributes.body
Josh- you could have students take interest surveys at the beginning of the year. You then have new ways to pair students by placing them in a community of shared interests.

Situated learning: involves an apprentice

Communities of practice: emphasizes group work

Thomas

Lave is more 1 on 1, wenger is community of people

Izcalli: Doing sectionals during rehearsal time based on instrumentation (ie. Low Brass, Saxes, Percussion, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
They differentiate how learning can be done through communities, but also how we learn from those who are ‘masters’ in the skill.

Leanna

Encouraging my students to perform in groups outside of band class.

Thomas

Having a group of people to conversate about things music related…TMEA

Mara

Both involve learning off of others and differ in sizes (of groups vs one on one)

Leanna

Providing lessons teachers for my students whenever possible

# data[].attributes.body
Thomas

Lave can be used in like private lessons where I get more of that 1 on 1 interaction with the students

# data[].attributes.body
Aislinn

I can put my students into groups where they all have things in common, but also put them in groups where there is a difference. Being able to switch between the two will help them grow as a community.

When a group of students are excelling at a certain topic, they could directly help a student at the back of the class to get them caught up.

Mia

Lave and Wenger theories reinforced collaboration between groups.

# data[].attributes.body
One difference is that Lave believes in learning directly from someone who is experienced in their practice, while Wenger's theory is through learning from communities.

One similarity is that they both believe in learning through a social interaction.

# data[].attributes.body
Mara

They emphasized the importance of learning from one another and embracing new ideas of learning from different perspectives.

# data[].attributes.body
Josh- when students are needing to work in groups, you could have students volunteer to be the expert in that task. They could be the student that receives the most instruction from the teacher, and relays information back to the group. They don’t have to be a master in the content, but an expert in the instructions

# data[].attributes.body
Aislinn

I can create multiple ways for learning to happen, not just by lecture. I can bring in parents to teach something they are ‘masters’ in to show that there are different ways that we can learn.

# data[].attributes.body
By having my students form communities within my classroom for topics of interest when it comes to group work.

Placing a student who is reading a year above their grade level with a student who is reading a year below their grade level so that the struggling student can hear the fluency of his students reading

By promoting learning directly from their peers. Making sure that we say it is a safe learning space.
