Tango blog has a post on Orchestrating a Learning Ecology which links to an elearnspace article on Learning Ecologies, Communities, and Networks. The best summary comes from the latter article itself: An ecology is an environment that fosters and supports the creation of communities. The definition applied to gardening applies well to learning communities: "“Ecological gardening is about gardening with nature, not against it.” A learning ecology is an environment that is consistent with (not antagonistic to) how learners learn. Blogsavvy has two complementary posts on How you SHOULD use blogs in education and  How NOT to use blogs in education. The overview is simple: use blogs for what they’re good for and don’t expect miracles! [...] [...] The rather amusing (albeit bizarre) OLE!

James Farmer summarises his paper on blogging in education which posits blogging firmly in the realm of social networks by its nature of communication being the over-riding mechanism of knowledge transfer, rather than the traditional content-driven learning model. Content still exists but it is placed more into the hands of the learner to construct meaning from. Extract from James’ paper (with my emphases): Wells (2000) further developed Vygotsky’s work and contributed to the assertion that all learning is socially constructed through language and is in some way collaborative, even when direct human contact is absent. Adapting this theoretical perspective, the new model will emphasise that the key to the collaborative component of learning is a process of inquiry within a social group and the construction of meaning through the exploration within the specific social context.
