On the learning conversations blog I found a video interview with Etienne Wenger in which he answers quite some basic questions about communities of practices in organisation. What they are, when not to foster them (they are not a panacee), how sponsorship of communities in an organisation differs from managing communities. Highlights: think about communities when Practitioners need to be in the lead. When there is a clear knowledge gap, just produce a manual.

We went to the studio of 'Tussen de Oren' ('Between the Ears') a television program that does all kind of psychological experiments to share scientific research about communication and psychology in a humoristic manner. One of the questions to the panel was to find out what was true of some widely known anecdotes or 'broodjes aap' in Dutch. This was hard to guess! Some of the anecdotes that were not true were: eskimos have 100-s of words for snow cat survives ride in washing-machine you can breed 'bonsai' kittens by breeding them in a pot While working with

Tomorrow I'm going to present the difference between the theories of communities of practice and action learning (and between the communities themselves and action-reflection groups). CoP = community of practice, AL = Action Learning). Any input welcome! Characteristic CoP AL Is A theory, little information on methods I haven't found any materials comparing the two, so I had to do some brainwork for myself.

This afternoon I’m spending a half hour on a Skype video conversation to share a bit of how I use social media. figured it would be good to exercise my memory a bit and unearth some of the key stories that led me to to my social media use today, and perhaps surface some of my patterns. The history approach also shows that while the term “social media” was not in play when I jumped in, the social use of online media has been growing I These roots are significant because our patterns of use, our ways of embracing or rejecting technology are grounded

I don’t know anything about growing grapes and making wine, but an old college buddy of mine has hatched a second vocation/avocation as a grape grower and wine maker. Recently he has been sharing some of his practice (I.e Check out the very specific practice categories in his right nav bar if you are looking for ideas about how to share what you/your community knows!) I’ve enjoyed reconnecting with Craig through his blog. Gopher trapping and pruning .
