Community of Practice

Community of practice is a group of people who have the same concerns, common problems, share a passion, education, and expertise. This is where a group of people have collegial relationship. However, the community of practice are not a confined by institutional or a large affiliation. These are potential values that have extended beyond the boundaries of any single organization. We see these groups formed online spaces. I personally have not been apart of it but I know people have benefit from the online forums. One website people have formed community of practice are on reedit. Or an even simple place is when people all comment on a post.

 Reddit is a website that is open to everyone, and has very little limits. Reddit is a way users can find a vases amount of news article on almost any topics. User vote article or post to be bumped to the top of the page. One of the users is sending a pizza; help can send anyone a pizza. You post a why you need it and other user come together and help one other. This is a goal of not know each other but they want to help someone else. When a group all bumps an article up they have the same passion of the written pieces.

Another example is when a group of people all comment on a picture. This is seen in a celebrity’s post, when the celebrities fans like and comment on the post. Some followers will come together to share the passion for the same person. For instance when Taylor Swift post a picture on Instagram, you can see her fans posting comments and talking with each other. Her fans have educated themselves on her life, music, and also everything she. They will comment about how much they love her. These fans may have never met, but all share the same passion.
