    Great post. I love all of the visual representations. I enjoyed having those to assist my reading. Connected learning is become much more flexible. In my opinion all of the visuals were much more powerful than the words. To me, they assist my learning in expressing the differences between Cops and connectivism. The last visual of connected learning might be my favorite visual representation that I have seen so far. It describes it perfectly.
  •  
    I especially liked the "key functional elements" section that outlined necessities within the network. The visual of the network with the peoples' faces made sense and gave a very clear picture of learning connections. Great source.

    This article discusses the idea of connected learning and its benefits. It discusses how the learner can be at the center of their learning. Although this article focuses of incorporating connected learning to teaching practices, it can also be applied to gain a better understanding of forming personal learning networks to enhance ones professional growth.

    I love the term "connected learning." I can't imagine learning in isolation. I have to take what I am reading and share it out on Twitter, I want to get the interaction of others to enrich and enhance what I am learning. Learning systems is a good way to put it. You have a system in place that involves connecting with others.

(Fletcher #8) Using Technology to Promote Communities of Practice (CoP) in Social Work ... - 1 views

  •  
    This article discusses how communities of practice benefit from technology, particularly in social work contexts. To start, it talks about how groups such as Weight Watchers and Alcoholics Anonymous are communities of practice (this was good for me to see as I have certainly been basing them on more "tech based" models). A key part of communities of practice, according to the article, is becoming a practitioner and not simply acquiring knowledge about practice. Page 593 also had a useful "stage" description to see communities of practice along a continuum.

Cultivating Communities of Practice: Making Them Grow - YouTube - 2 views

  •  
    The video by Bruce Knox helped me to reacquaint myself with Communities of Practice. I like how he explains the parts to consider and if one already exists.
  •  
    Very clearly laid out. I like the way it defines a community of practice and the purpose. And the three areas that need to be developed: the community, domain and practice. Communities of practices are not created but rather are fostered - nice differentiation.
  •  
    Video sharing what and why we want Communities of Practice. This class could be considered a CoP, we are grouping together with similar interests, to share ideas and get better at what we do.

UTAS Community of Practice Initiative - 0 views

  •  
    This document is a compilation of readings and resources for a community of practice. It includes infographics as well as summaries of information of theories of COP's.
  •  
    This article had mentioned a good point about communities of practice: not all communitites are communities of practice. They gave the example of a neighborhood, it is a community where people are living, but they are not necessarily practicing a common interest. However if you have a neighborhood watch group to watch and protect the surrounding homes, them that would be a community of practice because they have the same goal and are working together. It stated that learning can be the reason for the group to come together, or it can be an outcome of someone's actions.

Communities of Practice - 0 views

    You will need to use your BSU information to access this scholarly article. This article discusses how situated learning can evolve into Community of Practice. The author asserts, " The basic argument made by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger is that communities of practice are everywhere and that we are generally involved in a number of them - whether that is at work,school, home, or in our civic and leisure interests." Some CoPs are formally created while others are much more casual. This article is a great summary of Wenger's initial discussion of the topic.

What is Communities of Practice (Youtube) - 2 views

    I hope its ok to post a video about Communities of Practice because this is a great video that demonstrates how a community of practice can help people learn from each other. If I had to understand what a CoP is, this short 3 minute video is all you need. Take a watch!

Knowledge networks: Innovation through communities of practice - 1 views

  •  
    A look at the "basics" of communities of practice. This text does a great job of answering the basic questions that make the concept a little fuzzy. It discusses the evolution of CoP's from its inception to today's practice.

    This article is valuable in that it talks about Communities of Practice as a new term. I discusses the definition, the characteristics, its inception and the benefits to the different organizations who may use CoPs.

What are "communities of practice"? - Nicole Brown - 1 views

  •  
    Ms Brown describes Communities of Practice in her article citing Wenger (who coined the term) in her references. She goes on to describe what communities of practice are and how COP's have changed because of the digital world (Twitter named specifically). I appreciated her list of qualities of a "good" community of practice and her video link of John Amaechi's speech on COP's.

Community of Practice (CoP) success story - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    This is a good video showing how setting up a community of practice saves time and resources in a mining company. The highlight for me was that one problem took a company close to a year to solve and they freely shared it with another group so that they wouldn't have to go through the same struggles.

Great read. I especially like the part about "active participation" in a community. This seems a powerful learning theory - my students are always worried about their identity within their communit...

Situating Learning in Communities of Practice - 2 views

  •  
    This is a good article, if you are interested in deep diving into the theory of situating learning in the context of communities of practice. I have never thought of Alcoholics Anonymous as a community of practice before. The article looks at the structuring relation between the scope of participation in communities and the production of that scope in relations of commodification and the characteristics of divided forms of labor. The article also lists a set of conceptual independencies among person, activity, knowledge, and a world that recommend a conception of learning as legitimate peripheral participation in communities of practice.

    This book chapter is very informative, and takes a look at some of the situations regarding identity in a community of practice. There are many different roles one can take in a CoP. I enjoyed this chapter, because it took a look at Yucatec Mayan midwives. Which, as it sounds is an important role played in this community. There is a sort of apprentice mindset when learning something, and I find the same structure in teaching.
