So much information about connected learning on this website, including videos, case studies, webinars and more. I love this quote from it: "Connected learning is when you're pursuing knowledge & expertise around something you care deeply about, and you're supported by friends & institutions who share & recognize this common passion or purpose." And look at this great infographic: http://connectedlearning.tv/infographic

Gutierrez defines what a PLN is, what does a PLN do, and what a PLN is not. Lastly, Gutierrez explains why building a PLN is increasingly important. A PLN is where educators can gather, collaborate, communicate, and share information anywhere or anytime. PLNs are formed through social media and across the world. They serve three purposes including connection building, connection maintenance, and connection activation. A PLN is not a CoP or PLE. A Community of Practice is with people that have the same profession, vs PLN connections are more informal. A Personal Learning Environment is much broader than a PLN. A PLN is within the PLE. PLNs help professional development, expanding your thinking, find answers and advice quickly, and stay up to date.

The business blog post defines and contrasts PLNs, CoPs, and PLEs. It discusses the importance of building a PLN. The post points out that connections in a PLN are intentional with the purpose of learning from the other person rather than just meeting by chance. Several good references are provided. Included is a nice illustration showing the relationships between PLNs and PLEs and Personal Web Tools.

Communities of Practice for educators - 2 views
-
This article provides a definition and description of communities of practice. A community of practice is a social way to learn and share a common practice/activity/topic. Three implications are identified for learning: learning occurs through relationships, educators need to facilitate these communities for their students, and experience and activity lead to knowledge.
-
As learners, we can learn most, if not best, through our interactions and relationships with others. Co-participation in groups and/or activities are viewed equally as valuable as content delivered in traditional methods. Educators should strive to get students to include themselves in communities to learn through doing.
-
This article concludes by focusing on the implications for educators. It does not provide solutions but rather questions and ideas to consider.
Knowing in action: Beyond Communities of Practice - 0 views

This article closely examines how different types of knowing in action emerge in communities of practice.

Thanks for sharing the article. The thing I liked the most about what they had to say was that no matter which educational theory a person felt attached to, CoPs would be valuable. So many of the things we study say that they are the best new way to go. CoPs are common sense ways to solve problems.

This article gives one professors experiences on their successful use of Facebook in their British Literary History course. Facebook subsisted for the discussion forum common to a good many course management systems. Students use it because they were already there (on Facebook) and they found the use interesting.

This is a student's response to using Facebook to generate discussion in a British Literature History class. Even though it is collegiate level, I think that this scenario could definitely work in the high school setting.
