This session introduces the idea of a community of practice and how this translates into a community of learners at a distance. Drawing from his experience of informal professional development, a Level 2 Education Studies (primary) student will share how he engages with Twitter to support and develop his identity as a student and lifelong learner with a passion for children’s learning. Another student, who has just finished her Level 1 modules, will share how she has created her own professional identity in an online space and how this has been supported in her workplace, where she is a Lead Learning Coach and SLT member. The session will finish with some suggested informal professional networks and resources which students may wish to engage with before starting or resuming their studies in October.
