Teachers' Lifelong Learning Network
Social media networks in schools and in teacher's lives
How teachers can use social networks to support their professional development? The final TeLLNet workshop will take place on 14 November at the Media & Learning Conference in Brussels, focusing on the importance of professional development networks for teachers' lives.
Participants in this workshop will be able to familiarise with the basics of Social Network Analysis in the context of eTwinning, the community for school in Europe, and will learn about concepts such as network structure and social capital. A prospective scenario-building exercise called "Teachers' profession and teacher collaboration networks in 2025" will offer a number of recommendations to policy makers and educational stakeholders.
A booklet with final results from the project will also be released. The booklet will additionally include a set of possible future scenarios of teachers' profession in compulsory education in 2025. The booklet is targeted to educational policy-makers in Europe. It's aim is to help discuss plausible futures of teachers' profession and collaboration networks through the use of fictional scenarios.
