    by Etienne Wenger CoPs are formed by people who are engaged and interested in common domains. These can be done in many domains as long as there is an underlying interest. CoPs provide a new way to learn from one another in a safe environment. All members take responsibility with their members to access knowledge while sharing new ideas.

    "Communities of practice enable practitioners to take collective responsibility for managing the knowledge they need, recognizing that, given the proper structure, they are in the best position to do this." This was a quote that jumped out at me. Education is constantly moving in the same direction (as we are studying). Teachers are taking collective responsibilities for their students. In some cases, sharing with communities they are note physically connected with.

    The information on this link was valuable in that it clearly explained a CoP and then listed four specific ways that it can be used in a beneficial manner. If anyone is unclear about a CoP or its purpose, this would be an excellent resource to show.

    Great share Kelly! This is a simple explanation of what a community of practice is and the three components that it takes in order to be called a CoP. It also explains where one would find a CoP. It specifically states that CoP's are influencing theory which begins to shape how educators teach.

    Great article on Communities of Practice! I like how this article explains what makes up a community of practice, the domain, the community, and the practice. This is a great resource for people who may be new to communities of practice.
