Communities of practice a brief introduction - 0 views

  •  
    This article is a good definition of what a community of practice (CoP) is and how they are used. It is not specific to online/social networks but offers good background on how communities are formed and what they are used for. With this general knowledge can be applied to many specific domains such as a personal learning network, a google circle or an anime club.

Edutech Wiki: Communities of Practice - 4 views

  •  
    I chose to share this link for two reasons: 1) It describes communities of practice, ways to support CoPs through networking, social learning, and online identities. 2) It's presented via a wiki, which is a platform that embodies the spirit of SNL, CoPs and PLNs.

    Angela another great pick. I think the biggest key to this resource is a practical demonstration of a PLN for us to utilize. As information is presented we should not only be able to explain but use the resources! Living the theory is just as important as knowing it.
  •  
    This is a very thorough breakdown of what makes up a community of practice. Also some good links in there (though a few were broken which I find common in Wiki's). Thanks to you posting this site/CoP which I had never heard of http://www.tappedin.org/.
  •  
    Angela, While doing the research I came across this site as well but did not incorporate it my finds. I'm a big fan of Wikipedia and use it quite a bit for definitions and attaining public domain images. This Edutech Wiki is very complete with definitions and examples. A great resource.
  •  
    I've never seen the edutech wiki site. I will have to remember this. I also like using wiki from the basics like definitions. This has some great definitions and break down of communities of practice.
  •  
    I love to gather information from WIKIs. CoP networks are present in almost everything we do. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    I found this site to be very informative in a brief way! I find sites such as this a nice way to get started on something...find out enough so you know where to go next!
  •  
    I appreciate the comment in this wiki about communities of practice developing a common store of knowledge. When I first heard the term, communities of practice, a few years ago, I thought they were simply referring to a group of people with something in common, not necessarily a group with a common purpose or goal toward which they are actively working.

Connected teaching and learning: The uses and implications of connectivism in an online class | Barnett | Australasian Journal of Educational Technology - 0 views

    This article provides another example of an actual case study attempting to implement a connectivist pedagogy in a smaller size ( to something else. For example, is a limited participant (closed) class automatically disqualified?

Building and maintaining an online professional learning community - 5 views

    This is a good set of tools and instructions for creating and maintaining a PLN.
  •  
    I found these piece both extremely interesting and valuable. So true the way the author discusses the outcomes of a one-shot workshop vs. a "job-embedded, ongoing" (love the terms!) framework such as PLCs. The main benefits of the PLCs are 1) their are embedded into each school day and are facilitated by teacher support staff and 2) they are not collaboration for collaboration's sake! Instead, they engage teachers into an ongoing dialogue that is of their concern or interest right here, right now! Thus, meaningful collaboration results in meaningful outcomes. Great read!
  •  
    There's two tools I'm seeing less and less that were included in this blog post. I'm seeing less people using wikis and also Ning seems to have been replaced maybe by Google+? I see this blog as good discussion of using your time wisely and wonder how it might be updated say in 2 or 3 years with new technologies.

Students Make Their Case in Colorado | Edutopia - 0 views

  • via videoconference
  • This activity was a simulation, but to make the assignment more authentic, school board members agreed to listen to students' arguments and pose questions based on the school district's book-adoption guidelines. On his popular blog the Fischbowl, Fisch recruited more educators from outside the district to take part via videoconference.
  • experience came about because of student initiative:

  • tracked down the author via email and invited him to chat in real time.
  • Parents, teachers, and interested school board members were able to participate, too, because they streamed the conference live.
  • Smith's class wiki gave teams an online space where they could collaboratively plan their presentations,
  • The live author interview was not a planned part of the project, but it used technology tools Smith and Fisch had previously tapped for other classroom events: Skype (a free videoconferencing application) and a webcam, Ustream for free live streaming and archiving, and Twitter to publicize the chat and to receive questions and comments in real time from remote listeners.

Places to Go: Connectivism & Connective Knowledge - 3 views

  •  
    This article is actually an introduction to a course offered by the University of Manitoba. My favorite part of this article is the diagram "that shows how the different elements and various technologies are linked together." However, throughout the article it offers various links that I also found interesting.

    This is an article by Stephen Downes, discussing the course Connectivism and Connective Knowledge. I was interested to see how many elements of connectivism were built into the course structure. I also liked the visual map at the beginning of the article. All sources for the article were 2008 or prior, which made me wonder how much has changed and if the article is still valid. It prompted me to dig further.
  •  
    This article is written by Stephen Downes. In this article he discusses the online course that he created called Connectivism and Connective Knowledge. This course focuses on one of the more recent trends to emerge, connectivism. The visual map in the article shows how different elements and technologies all link together.
  •  
    I saw Downe's article/work referenced on a few other sites, so this ties up a few things for me. However, the visual map has far too much going on for my brain to focus. Seriously- that thing is wild.
