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).
