Learner Community
For users of Greenfoot, a community site called the Greenfoot Gallery provides a platform to publish and discuss their projects. Anyone can set up an account on the Greenfoot Gallery and publish their work. When published, scenarios run live in a web browser, and are instantly playable by anyone worldwide. The ability to easily publish programming projects to the internet is seen as a significant motivator for young learners.

Famous quotes containing the words learner and/or community:
“The writer, unlike his non-writing adult friend, has no predisposed outlook; he seldom observes deliberately. He sees what he did not intend to see; he remembers what does not seem wholly possible. Inattentive learner in the schoolroom of life, he keeps some faculty free to veer and wander. His is the roving eye.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (18991973)
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (18361903)
