It relates because of a community of practices need to learn, they are constantly learning and will always as long as there is intent from the in habitants of a certain community, for example, a school with technology learning.

"Learning involves a deepening process of participation in a community of practice"-http://www.infed.org/biblio/communities_of_practice.htm

An example of a community of practice from the website link above was, "a clique of pupils defining their identity at school." Prensky wants technology to teach, this could be on school grounds or at home or anywhere, but this means that the pupils and techers will have to create communities of practice in order for them to learn. So this is another way in which the two notions relate. Because we are constantly learning and have a need to find new "enterprises" in which to learn from.
