However, these collaborative media require a re- thinking of the theoretical framework through which we engage student communities of practice. This paper offers a social media-age rethinking of Vygotsky’s (1978) conceptu- alization of social constructivism within learning communities by presenting two case studies of instructor uses of social media platforms through a Facebook community of practice and a wiki-based, student-generated exam. Each examines the pedagogical ad- vantages and disadvantages of incorporating social media in course curricula through the development of social constructivist-based best practices in Web 2.0 course environ- ments.
