Ali Bostancioglu is a PhD student at the University of York, UK, where he is investigating the impact of engaging in online communities of practice on EFL teachers’ technology professional development. He will talk about communities vs. networks and how different social media platforms can best be used in pursuit of technology professional development. His presentation ends with advice for managing both the affordances and potential pitfalls of social media platforms.

We met in Google Hangout on Air, streamed from http://webheadsinaction.org/live.

This is a really cool hangout. Prior to this Dave had been experimenting with creating breakout rooms during the hangouts, creating gaps on the audio that could easily be removed, but some odd moments on the YouTube videos where he would be puttering about his house and visibly (but not audibly) engaging in the breakouts.  Also, the previous recordings came off as monologues, at odds with his so-inclusive Worldbridges endeavors, whereas this one he has invited others into the hangout, admitting voices of  others in the MOOC, and thereby embracing uncertainty while pulling off another totally extemporaneous event that models what it intends to get across, that certainty is an attempt to control proceedings by falling back on scarcity; uncertainty in turn embraces abundance.
