2. To get your picture in there - you join and take part in the action! Easy! FUN!
3. First Experiences in Community Join WiA in 2005 after BaW - it was part of my MPhill assignment: To experience a Virtual Learning Community Without realizing I landed in the best CoP you could wish for!
4. My 1st f2f get-together; my 1st Presentation at an International Conference (TESOL), and my 1st time in the USA
5. Humanware The power of this community lies on the people and their willing to connect (via the web)
6. Showing we care People genuinely interested in people and how they can assist them in their learning
8. Giving back Traits of a Vocation (to be a teacher): Soul of a Volunteer Emotional attachment to people Generosity Passion for learning Eagerness to collaborate True communicator
9. Team Spirit The felling of a fellowship grows and develops from the interactions that are generated in the core of the CoP
10. Re-energizing The more we work and pursue our interests in this shared environment, the more energy we get to engage in new project and develop new ideas. Energy generates more energy. Motivation is the main source of such contagious energy!
11. Experiencing the world from different angles In the WiA we have access to a multitude of experiences and people from the 4 corners of the world . It’s a colorful place to be part of!
