A Virtual Community of Practice Story
And speaking of colleagues and communities of practice, Reuven Werber shared with me in a Skype conversation his experience participating in an online collaboration with other educators. Educator, Vicki Davis (aka Coolcat Teacher), used twitter to reach her colleagues and invited them to experiment with Google presentations – at least 40 educators from around the world responded. They were able to both present and chat online for free, using Google Presentations. The presentation they designed, btw, was on how to create Google Presentations. Read Vicki’s first hand account.
More and more of these types of stories are emerging in the education and not-for-profit blogosphere. Do you have a story to share?
