Typical teacher network v the networked teacher

GOOD TEACHER The Typical Teacher Network and The Networked Teacher are two diagrams created by Alec Couros from the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina as part of his doctoral thesis to signify the different ways in which teachers network in the 21st century. Like Neil Winton, I can also relate to the image of The Networked Teacher as a pictorial representation of my own experiences of using Web 2.0 tools and how networking in this way can greatly enhance one's own professional development. The challenge now is to encourage more colleagues to adopt the second model so they can too see what a difference it can make to their own working practice.
