Building a Distributed Community of Practice on the Reservation: Web 2.0, Learning 2.0, and Object-Centered Sociality (Innovative Practice)

Thursday, January 22, 2009 | 10:30AM–11:30AM | Bonaire 3-4
Session Type: Professional Development
There is a national conversation on how to return Native practitioners to their home communities. However, to do so it essential to build a support infrastructure that recognizes all constituent perspectives and needs, and especially supports a sustained learning community. This presentation will share strategies on how to support rural communities of practice and how the use of Web 2.0 tools can take the social infrastructure of the university into rural, and especially Native, communities.
