I have to balance reading with other learning sources and so this video on Communities of Practice in action is simple and effective. It focuses on uk govt as as example but covers the main idea, if not the academic theory. Person, working with others, driven to connect, collaborate and learn. Simple but effective

This video was helpful in showing how a Community of Practice is useful to individuals. I also found it helpful to be reminded that there may also be a face to face element in a Community of Practice, and it does not all have to be digital.

I tried using Popplet with my students. It was easy to figure out, but too many students experienced glitches. While Popplet's beta version is free, my school chose to subscribe to Webspiration for greater stability.

Great videos on connected learning. How do I get my school to that place? Very true, traditional learning used to take place within the confines of a school, but now we have so much more we can offer students. I passed it along to my admin, he has this line of thinking, but we need to encourage follow through.

In this video, George Siemens lectures on connectivism and its importance in education. Current education structures do not provide meaningful learning. Connectivism is a way of learning that is interactive, participatory, and under an individual's control. The social learning is a method of "connectedness" that provides deeper connections with learning strengths.

"The formal learning process is irrelevant." One example he gives of this is that we don't know our students well enough to personalize the process to them. He says we force content on them without taking them into consideration. I disagree. Students tell you what they want to learn by declaring a major or signing up for a class. I agree that the system could be better, but he goes a bit too far.

What a great speaker! Siemens' speech is so thought provoking. It is important to know our children before we teach them.

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!
