This is my "virtual" colleague Joistke Hulsebosch. We've never met face-to-face, but we have many similar interests. We "met" when we both took the incredible Nancy White's Online Facilitation Workshop.
In addition to the workshop curriculum, we were encouraged to explore our own inquiry questions. Mine included: How can blogs play a role in online community building? How can one integrate audio/podcasting and video logging into online conversation effectively?
Joistke and I had lots of sandbox time together, along with other participants, that enabled to play with audio (and video) as online conversation. She is fearless, brilliant, and asks great questions. Along the way, she asked about blogging and I encouraged her to try it. I pointed her to some how-tos and the next thing I know there is this fabulous blog called "Communities of practice for development."
Here is her purpose statement:
I want to track the materials I found and my reflections on this topic without having the pretention that it will be exhaustive about everything happening in the field of communities of practice for development. My three main streams are practical examples, culture and technology.
