Week 6 Topic 2 Wegner

6.2) Sometimes it is difficult to think about community in different ways. For this task, I want you to think carefully about "joint enterprise". It is easy to belong to a community on the web, but for us to consider the community a community of practice there needs to be a joint enterprise - something that members are actively engaged in with progression and a goal in mind. Usually this means that the members have a vested interest in getting better at something together.

I think the best practice in real life compared to online, to support this statement is the idea of belonging to a team be it dance, rugby, football or hockey. There is a sense of community amongst the team mates who work and play together maybe two or three times a week. They practice together and work out areas for improvement for individuals and as a team. The goal may not be necessarily to win every game or comeptition but to be better every week or to do better than the previous year. This i think provides the best example of community of practice as in this case practice makes perfect.
