People live their lives and learn across multiple settings, and
this holds true not only across the span of our lives but also
across and within the institutions and communities they inhabit
even classrooms, for example. I take an approach that urges me to
consider the significant overlap across these boundaries as people,
tools, and practices travel through different and even
contradictory contexts and activities. -KRIS GUTIERREZ
If institutions of learning are going to help learners with the
real challenges they face, [they] will have to shift their focus
from imparting curriculum to supporting the negotiation of
productive identitiesthrough landscapes of practices. -ETIENNE
