Thus the shared symbolism of the slang or dialect tacitly protects the tribal culture and secures its social exclusivity for its members. Such new literary practices of communication (Lankshear and Knobel, 2006) rely heavily on shared spaces, shared symbolism and the viral nature of the social web. Maidenhead: Open University Press.

David White , who is at Oxford University, is probably best known for his theory of Digital Residents and Visitors. Prensky''s Natives and Immigrants was a popular theory within the education world a decade ago, but upon close examination it turned out to be fraught with difficulties and flaws. It was simply a myth. Unported License.

A key feature of social media is its open architecture, because it allows all members of a community to easily modify, extend or delete content. The division of labour required to engage an entire community of learners in these activities is often uneven and can be explained within the activity theory framework proposed by Engeström (1993).

It could be argued that these findings support Vygotskiian social constructivist theory (Zone of Proximal Development - Vygotsky 1978) over Piagetian cognitive constructivist theory, confirming to those who adhere to ZPD theory, that human brains are naturally wired to learn better in social contexts.

I''ve had several conversations with my students in the past few weeks about how Vygotskiian theory informs our understanding of learning. But social constructivist theory, particularly Vygotsky''s socio-cultural focus, extends greatly beyond the concept of ZPD - the zone of proximal development - that most people are familar with.

Allow me elaborate: Many of our pedagogical theories and much of our practice in higher education is grounded in, and has been derived from, a pre-digital era, when the lecturer or professor was central to the process of education, and where the classroom was the predominant place for learning to take place. We now live on shifting sands.

In fact my specialism never ceases to amaze me, because there is always something new to learn, some new technology, app or software tool that is emerging, or some new theory or model that is being proposed. Social media, in all its forms, is I believe, one of the greatest innovations ever to impact on the world of learning, in all sectors.
