Since online networks and communities have opened new avenues for teacher professional development and connectedness, it is of paramount importance for us to explore the ways on how to make the best use of them. From my standpoint, it is not sufficient to introduce or sign up for them, we, at the same time, need to think how to maximize and optimize our experiences on such platforms. At the end of the day, we may find ourselves on the margins of such communities and networks only consuming or wandering aimlessly. :)
