Module 10- Learning Communities

All of these tools remind me of the Google Docs however I feel there must be a difference which I will discover as I use these more. The video explaining Wikis with the 'camping' example was great and made it easy to understand the concept. I also liked the video about Nings and it was inspiring to set up 'open' learning communities like this in schools. I have joined Web 2.0 Classroom and am keen to get a sense of being part of a learning community before I try to set up my own at school with students. I see these tools as a great opportunity to plan and bounce ideas off colleagues as in my PE/Sports Coordinator role I currently plan programs and events in isolation because of time contraints. This appears to be a good way to connect with colleagues without having to set aside face to face time.
