assignment, community | Comment (0)Reading: Communities of Practice - Etienne Wegner
Wegner’s read on Communities of Practice was quite extensive… he goes into great detail of the structure of these communities, which is very helpful since we are actively participating in leaning communities ourselves! Getting an understanding of how these communities are structured, the purpose of their design and the social perspectives involved adds new meaning to being an active participant in a social learning environment.
I think the following quote from Wegner’s article sums it all up:
‘Learning – whatever form it takes – changes who we are by changing our ability to participate, to belong, to negotiate meaning’ (pp226).
Focus Questions, community, readings, social learning | Comment (0)Busy on Thorn Tree!
We, not only do I get to lean more about the destination I want to travel too, but I am also helping out a fellow emt1-er! Prue and her partner are visiting Germany this year, and has therefore asked me to gather some info for her from my travel learning community.
assignment, community, social learning | Comment (0)Prague anyone?
So while I have helped a few people out with their travel plans, it is now my turn to seek some advice. I am going to stage my questions one at a time over the coming weeks in order to monitor the differences in responses.
My first question has been about Prague. My husband and I recently decided that we wanted to make a diversion to the Czech Republic on our way to the Greek Isalnds this year. Not knowing much about the country or the city, I have posted my question on my e-learning community (Lonely Planet’s the Thorn Tree Forum). It will be interesting to see what people come up with!! Similarly, if you have any feedback or comments for me on Prague, then please respond…

assignment, community, readings | Comment (0)Found a community…
After searching the net and with Anne’s assistance, I have now been accepted into an e-learning community.
This is the first time for me (an virgin of some sort you could say) as I don’t even belong to FaceBook or My Space or any of that stuff (shock! horror!).
So I have joined the Lonley Planet Thorn Tree Travel Forum http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/login.jspa. My husband and I did some travelling last year and are off again this year so being part of this community will definately be fun and worthwhile!
Really looking forward to it - I have noticed though that it is addictive and need to stop getting caught by my boss…
