Until recently, Goldman-Segall’s points of viewing theory provided digital video ethnographers with a framework based on the sharing of perspectives for validity. We scale-up this perspective theory to explain how, in the age of social networking – learners’, teachers’, and researchers’ roles become more permeable through the collaborative process of layering viewpoints, analyses, and interpretations. Closing remarks discuss the importance of reconstituting the three parts of educating within social networking technologies spaces – the corner-store where learners hang out. Layering perspectives and the ability to create meaningful knowledge for self and others in social networks is the next frontier in the future of designing, using, and critiquing technologies for learning.
