  Hello everyone. So for the thursday's class , we discuss a lot about "community of practice ". So generally i think this means a group of people work together and the people in the group always have some similar skills or interests , although maybe they are working on different things but they can share the basic things together to prove each other. Those people probably don't work or even meet together but they really can get some useful information from each other. For example, in my high school,our school have two groups , they attend two matches ,one is robot matches and another one is model ship matches. They are sepreate in to two groups to work on their own competition but some of their working result can be shared together such as how to make the ship and robot go faster. Use what kind of batteries is better for the ship or the robot to work more efficiently and also how to make every component firmer. The student in these two groups are from different class

   Hello everyone, in the first week of our class, we discuss what collaboration is and how it reflect us.  So i think collaboration means a party of people cooperate together and they have same purpose.So people in the parties and discuss and communicate with others and share their ideas.    Nowadays we are do a lot of things online so it become a more online community,it means a group of people work together and cooperate together online though internet. For example of online collaboration , nowadays there are a lot of transnational corporation in the world, and some project need two subsidiary corporation to work together but usually these subsidiary corporations are in different countries.So now it is very necessary to have online collaboration because collaboration can diminish the distance between employees between these different countries. Employees can work together online and share document on line. so collaboration is becoming more necessary and popular nowadays.
