I agree with Kurt about learners needing a community to organize for participatory learning. With these communities, learners are able to speak their minds about topics and gather together for a greater good of teaching students to be themselves. I notice that with learning new information I need an environment I feel most comfortable. I want to be able to hone in on my passions and refine them.
I like the idea of having an open platform for individuals to express their opinions and meet others that feel the same as they do about topics. When multiple people come together with a linking topic, there are endless possibilities. Using a blog or forum to discuss gaming possibilities for learning allows everyone with that same interest to see how others feels about what is important to them.
One thing I have found troublesome in my efforts of improving a community through education, development, compassion, and group efforts is some are not willing to put up the fight to make this community better. I am now using knowledge I am learning from our course and applying it to make my efforts more concrete. It is a pleasure to have a passion for something. It is even better when others get on board to make the dream come to life. I have also learned that accomplishing goals, especially as big as the task I have taken on, requires more than one person's efforts.
