  • communities of practice are fundamentally self-organizing systems.
  • shared practice
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • not a new kind of organizational unit; rather, they are a different cut on the organization's structure–one that emphasizes the learning that people have done together
  • outsiders and newcomers learn the practice in concrete terms, and core members gain new insights from contacts with less-engaged participants
  • defined by knowledge rather than by task
  • produces a shared practice as members engage in a collective process of learning
  • develop the knowledge that lets them do these other tasks
  • development ultimately depends on internal leadership.
  • have intrinsic legitimacy in the community
  • They are nodes for the exchange and interpretation of information.
  • They can retain knowledge in "living" ways
  • They can steward competencies to keep the organization at the cutting edge
  • They provide homes for identities.
  • Identity is important because, in a sea of information, it helps us sort out what we pay attention to, what we participate in, and what we stay away from.
  • recognizing the work of sustaining them
  • giving members the time to participate in activities
  • value communities bring is acknowledged
  • The art is to help such communities find resources and connections without overwhelming them with organizational meddling.
  • No community can fully design the learning of another; but conversely no community can fully design its own learning.
  • Communities of practice develop around things that matter to people. As a result, their practices reflect the members' own understanding of what is important. Obviously, outside constraints or directives can influence this understanding, but even then, members develop practices that are their own response to these external influences. Even when a community's actions conform to an external mandate, it is the community–not the mandate–that produces the practice.

      Choice? Communities are created because their members choose to belong and participate to them. The can't be imposed.
  • Across business units: Important knowledge is often distributed in different business units.
  • Communities of practice arise as people address recurring sets of problems together

Reusable Vegetable Bags

    I love these produce Reusable Vegetable Bags so much I bought another set and always keep some with my reusable grocery bags in my car so they will be handy for quick market stops. I had to get another set because I often leave stuff like apples and avocados and onions in the bags in my veggie bins and refrigerated items contained in them in the fridge. Keeps them contained and they keep much better than in plastic bags…not to mention the benefit to the planet of less throwaway plastic. People in the market often ask me where I got them, and checkers have told me they are easy to scan through, whereas some other brands are not. The baggers love them too. Clinched closed, there are no products falling out and rolling around to be corralled. A total win all around. My daughter has a set from another company but likes mine better…I have to keep an eye on them! Lol

Best Professional Hair Straighteners

  • solospiders on 23 Oct 20
     
    est Professional Hair Straighteners is your best investment for the money, period. I've had a professional grade, expensive flat iron for years now and it recently broke. It was a bit of an emergency that I get a new one, but instead of rushing to the beauty supply I decided to turn to Amazon and it's reviewers first, where I came upon this iron. For the ridiculously affordable price I figured I had nothing to lose and this bad boy was on my doorstep in less than 24 hours.

Light Up Learn To Play Keyboard

    This product really works great for an adult beginner like me. I've placed "Color Piano Stickers for Keys" that identifies each key with a note - which enabled me to read sheet music (this product comes with 2 books and I have a scale book) and learn even more quickly. I love the larger LCD screen, too. I am pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of the lessons - I can now play a few easy songs (without light's guidance) just in days. The only thing that is missing - Casio needs to sell us MIDI music files that are formatted and ready to be uploaded into the piano for more lighted lessons. Update after one month: I can now play Moonlight Sonata (without any lighted key assistance).

    Trivia Board Game are amazing. I have fond memories of playing the original Genus Edition of this game with my family over Christmas and decided that this year we would get an updated version - mainly because I have no idea where the original version is anymore, I haven't seen it for about 15 years but it must be in the house somewhere… Delivery was within 23 hours of making the purchase so that made me happy and I could not wait to get playing it. Unfortunately my 26 year old son and husband had other ideas so I had to suffer through a couple of other games first but it was well worth the wait.

Wedding Picture Frames

  • solospiders on 28 Aug 20
     
    Needed this Wedding Picture Frames for daughter's wedding and Amazon seems to always ship free and quick (when shipped by Amazon and over $25). The reason I did not give it 5 stars is I felt the clips on the back were not as sturdy as other Lenox frames I saw in person. I was at first wondering if they were a China fake, but on examining at other stores they were the genuine article. The price was a nock-off from the local stores and the picture looks great in the frame.

Reading Pillow With Arms

shared by solospiders on 12 Nov 20 - No Cached
  • solospiders on 12 Nov 20
     
    For the last few years, I'd been purchasing my Reading Pillow With Arms from Target. They always have them around back to school time. While I've liked them for the most part, over time they would lose their shape and I'd end up sewing them to bring the arms back in. This year I decided to try something new and settled on this one after looking at scores of them on Amazon. I made the decision based on the mid to low price and foam stuffing. I didn't want to invest much more than fourth bucks in a pillow I couldn't see or touch and some of them get up above the hundred dollar range.
