Activity 3 of your assignment requires that you to post to one or two of the following blogs:

Visit Barb's Qwan-it Blog at http://me2u.athabascau.ca/barbf/weblog/

Visit Joanna's Pattern Ideas Blog at http://me2u.athabascau.ca/joanna/weblog/

Visit Kristine's Learning Objects and Patterns Blog at http://me2u.athabascau.ca/kristinet/weblog/

Do you currently make use of an expertise-sharing technique in your practice that you just realized is a pattern?

Christopher Alexander: “…a pattern language is about patterns being like words. They stay the same but can be combined in different ways like words in a sentence. They can be used as in a network where one will call upon another (like a neuron network). When you build something you can put patterns together to form a language. So a language for your house might have patterns about transitions, light, ceiling height, connecting the second floor to the ground.”

How will the use of patterns in networked learning change the way we practice?

On values and patterns: "Patterns don’t simply represent 'any old way' of doing things, but a good way, a better way. At the very least they represent a purposeful way. These values are not explicated separately from the Patterns themselves. Patterns don’t justify the values they embody; the values inform the identification of Patterns." - Sally Fincher and Ian Utting, University of Kent, UK

Does your organization currently have systems in place for sharing of best practices? If so how does it compare to Alexander's concept of patterns?

On pedagogical patterns as learning objects: "What's the difference between a pedagogical pattern and a learning object? Not much. Each deals with:
-small problems
-in many different contexts
-in order to increase educational effectiveness"-http://radio.weblogs.com/0125797/2003/06/12.html#a22
