Week 10. Wenger and Prensky.

How might Wenger's notions on practice communities relate to Prensky's on education?

Wenger's theories can relate to Prensky's on education because they both concern the development and cooperation of a learning concept.
Wenger discusses how groups of people who share common interests and goals with each other (for example people in a sociable sports team with the interest and goal of learning new and better techniques with the goal to win) are known as being part of a community of practice. And this relates to Prensky's concept of 'Digitally Native' students being taught by their 'Digitally Immigrant' teachers because this way of learning, although not necessarily the right way (e.g. teachers being taught by their pupils) shows how common interests are placed into activeness in the practice community of the schooling system.
