People are increasingly turning to the social interaction available on the Internet to satisfy their needs, whether these are professional or personal. The Internet offers users fast access to social contacts such as online chat groups and discussion lists helping us to make connections with others. Online communities are being increasingly used by teachers for professional support, guidance and inspiration. They present as a source of continuous professional development for teachers as they are able to deliver authentic and personalised opportunities for learning. This book will present the findings of a study that was conducted on three online communities for teachers. It will explore the nature of online community membership and offer some conclusions regarding their potential as a source of professional learning for teachers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Duncan-Howell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639140818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639140811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Jennifer Duncan-Howell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217632014591,"sku":"9783639140811","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2518bf03-7ac4-4e07-9658-5ca39d0e3b79.jpg?v=1771998442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/its-all-about-connections-jennifer-duncan-howell-9783639140811","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
