Technology

Professional
Development, but Why?
 Networks and
Communities of Practice
in the service of
Professional Development
Pervasiveness of Technology
 Technological change is
fast
 Teachers need to keep up with and develop
new ways of integrating technology.
 Online possibilities as an alternative to f2f
training (time and cost effective)
 Your presence here is a sign that you are
already aware of those topics so I will move
on quickly.



Network: ““refers to the set
of relationships, personal
interactions, and
connections among
participants who have
personal reasons to connect”
(Wenger et al., 2011, p. 9)


Community “the development of a shared
identity around a topic or set of challenges”
and “represents a collective intention to
steward a domain of knowledge and to
sustain learning about it” (Wenger et
al., 2011).







Community
Provides a domain where members could
cooperate
Resources which members could benefit from
Teaching
techniques, tools, suggestions, perspectives,
and so on
History









However,
A certain amount of interaction and
engagement is necessary.
Not everyone is required to commit to the
community at the same level
A Community could dissolve if members feel
that they have achieved their shared goal.
Not the case for technology though.









Nodes as ties for learning
Learning partnership does not have to be
sustained
No commitment to a domain is required
Enables access to rich data
Spontaneous and unpredictable
Collective exploration is possible
However,
 Noise and
diffusion,
 Maintaining
connections
 Self-direction









While they are two distinct terms, they are not
at opposite ends.
In fact, they are interrelated.
Big community can involve multiple networks
A network could essentially develop into a
community
“The social learning process is enhanced by
dynamic interplay of both community and
network processes” (Wenger et
al, 2011, p.13)
Community;







Open vs Closed communities
Look for group description
Look at the date and frequency of posts
Orientate yourself
Look for explicit/ implicit rules
Keep up with the community
Check profiles of
potential nodes
 Use Twitter and
LinkedIn



More on the use of Twitter



Wikis and Blogs


How different Social Media Platforms could be
used in the service of Professional
development?

Review of Social Media Platforms;





Twitter



LinkedIn


Facebook



Google +



Hootsuite



conceptual framework. Heerlen: Ruud de
Moor Centrum, OU




Where does one’s social identity end and
professional identity begin?
Is it possible/ useful to mix both identities?
Could we separate them? (i.e. creating
accounts for professional use and other
accounts for personal use)

  1. Today I will focus on those two topics.
