Abstract
In this chapter the data from the six classrooms are explored to consider how the linking process is supported or limited in the classroom and what may contribute to the linking. The role of the teacher and what or who constitutes authority of content and processes point to the opportunity for overt links in the classroom. The discussion points to developed culture of the classroom as one that may provide opportunity and experiences to create links and acceptance of shared links. The chapter concludes with examples of varied responses to the student-shared links and also how students may preface their links to be heard.
This chapter expands on elements of Schuh (2003).
