Community Building

Community Building is the act of taking action to strengthen and promote group cohesion and comradery.

In the classroom context, building a strong community facilitates the sharing of ideas, the presence of support when mistakes are made, and a feeling of comfort and safety when children are challenging themselves in new ways. Children can build community through technology by engaging in group projects, suggesting ideas for activities, and inviting and engaging friends and family to celebrate technology showcases and milestones together with the learning community.
