Carla Arena and I gave a presentation called Online Circles of Learning: Your Micro-revolution for the Network of Trainers in Europe Conference. Our abstract: New and emergent technologies enable trainers all over the globe to pursue professional development out of their institutional settings. Connections are now possible in new dimensions of the online world. In this session, presenters will show some possibilities of informal learning through the participation in Communities of Practice, online sessions and spaces that can impact positively on the way trainers learn and enhance their professional development.
We had a fabulous time presenting, although the time went too fast- we had 15 minutes to present! During the 20 minute discussion that followed, we had some great questions and discussed the concept of "amplified worker" in more detail. According to The Future of Work, the amplified worker is someone who is social, improvisational, collective, and augmented - the worker for the future who uses social media for his or her own professional development. Check out our slides below and if you'd like more information, and see what online spaces and communities of practice Carla and I use during a day in our amplified lives! We also invite you to go to our wiki page where you can also join in the conversation on our Voicethread.

Got EVO?
Only one more week until EVO 2007!
This year, I'm going to participate in Becoming a Webhead 07. Last year, I also joined BaW, and I was so amazed to learn about creative ways of using technology and developing professionally. This year, my goal is to make more progress and to actually become a webhead!
In addition, I'll also participate in Blogging for Beginners; it should motivate me to develop another blog project, Bilingual Babble, which is about raising children bilingually. I've also joined Teaching with PowerPoint.
EVO is going to be a crazy six weeks, full of learning, exploring, and sharing with like-minded colleagues around the world. I can't wait to get started and hope to see you there!

Online Communities of Practice Springdoo Message
I would like to share a Springdoo message that I created for a fellow Learning with Computer member who was giving a presentation at "Online Teacher Communities" conference in Cyprus. She asked members of our online community of practice "...to share their experiences and encourage other teachers to join and/or create online communities..." In the recording, I reflect on why I initially joined the group and how it has affected me professionally. Message for Conference on Online Teacher Communities
