Waaah! Time goes by so quickly. The last thing I posted here was in January, since the book has been published (Feb 2008), I have got a new job (in Marseille, starting in October) and the book is featuring in a book club (starting next month).
What book? - "Communities of Practice: Creating Learning Environments for Educators" edited by myself, Paul Hildreth and Isabelle Bourdon.

What book club? - the CPsquare book club (I know some of you are already members of CPsquare, but this is for those who are not) will be reading selected chapters from the book.

So, if you want to have the opportunity to discuss what you have been doing with others who share a common interest - from around the world - this is your chance. There will be some synchronous activities (e.g. teleconferences), but most of the discussion should be asynchronous (so you should not need to get up in the middle of the night to chat to somebody on the other side of the planet).
The selection of the chapters will begin in late July and the discussions will start a week later - all you need is a copy of the book and the will to participate ... oh yes, and 50 USD if you are not a member of CPsquare (it is free to members but they will charge anybody else, don't blame me, I am not a member and I didn't make the rule).
I hope to meet some of you there on-line.
