Ecologies, Digital and Metaphorical

Hello all, I hope that you have been keeping up with Barbara Ganley's insightful blog recently!

This post on "ecologies" caught my eye--"learning ecology" is a topic that Jeannine and I have been discussing and presenting about, but definitely one we both want to explore further.

A quick search for "classical" works on the topic comes up with the usual suspects such as George Siemens and John Seely Brown, and this summary by Aaron Campbell pretty much nails the concept, I think.

There are many metaphors for teaching and learning, but that of an ecology has a definite resonance.
