Communities of practice online: Reflection through experience and experiment with the Webheads community of language learners and practitioners
Week 5: Mon Feb 17 to Sun Feb 23
How participation in a community of practice informs and influences the participants' personal teaching practices
| ACTIVITIES FOR THE WEEK |
We have decided to start our week, with some meaningful questions that Scott, a new member or our community, asked in his first posting to the list:
...What would be helpful for a newbie like me, if any of the regulars have the time
or inclination, is some sort of "getting started" testimonial document.
I'm sure what I have in mind has already been done and I've just not looked hard
enough on the various webpages that have been referred to recently. But the sort
of questions I have in mind are:
How does a teacher bring about the
transformation from f2f to online teaching? What are some of the obstacles and issues
that have been encountered in the process? What have been the high lights as well as
the "low lights" for you as you've made the move? Scott
I don't imagine I'm alone in having a desire and a curiosity to try some of the
ideas out that have been raised here. I'm also probably not alone in not having
much of an idea as to how to bring this about.
Luckily for us newbies, many of you have already ventured down this path. Your
meaningful contributions to this group serve as a helpful guide.....
So, we will try to answer those questions from our own experience. However, we invite you all to submit your experiences and ask the questions you consider necessary.
You can do this, by posting to the list, or meeting with us at Yahoo Messenger or at Tapped In, check the times in the timetable for this week.
