Our text shares the idea of virtual colleagues on the Web. What are some advantages and disadvantages of teacher-oriented websites and blogs?
What will be an ideal response?
Talking teaching to virtual colleagues can have the unique benefit of anonymity which can allow a free and open exchange of ideas and struggles. Virtual colleagues may be more available for discussion and support after school and in the evening while real life colleagues are juggling outside responsibilities. A very real drawback is the lack of eye contact and expressions of physical support that a colleague in the flesh can provide for example rearranging a classroom, carrying materials to and from the car, a pat on the back or a sympathetic high five.
