I have been following #lrnchat and find the vast number of communities of practice, informational tips, events, and learning opportunities extremely interesting, and want to read all of them and participate in every single event. However, there is simply not enough time. So how do you narrow your focus when there is so much interesting stuff out there to digest? I feel I am on information overload reading and consuming as much information as possible. I wonder if I retain some of it, most of it, or possibly even all of it?
I asked some peers at work this week for their experience with communities of practice, and received some good information. One peer suggested these sites, which I checked out, and they really are all good with tons of information:
Another peer suggested the following sites:
-
i4cp
- ASTD
- eLearning Guild
These are all very good sites, however, I am really enjoying lurking around in #lrnchat ... for now.
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that someone suggested ASTD as that is where I found one of the communities I am using for my assignment this week. Nice to see others really do use it out there in the real world :)
DD, that is great! I checked it out but had to join and felt rushed for time! I would love to hear what you think about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Barbara :)
These are great Barbara, thanks! And, thanks again for the tech 'smackdown' :)
ReplyDeleteStacy, you are most welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the games; I thought it was really cool too! This class is fun I have to say!
DeleteI think I feel as id i am developing ADD when I try to overextend myself in the digital world. Maybe its just like a real life community, just choose 1 or 2 at a time and switch off every so often? Hmm I was wondering the same thing you know. Too much stuff to get into all in a meaningful way at the same time though. The brain kind of shuts down ;)
