The exchange of experiences within a community or with other experts can hugely enrich your teaching. Online exchanges in which teachers can make contact with fellow teachers across distances and time zones can be really beneficial. It can sometimes be tricky to find a quiet spot in which to exchange thoughts about your profession though. Follow the link for a range of Twitter Chats which may help with this.

Lumen Circles offers one way of networking with fellow teachers so that all parties can develop their teaching skills. Becoming a member allows you to attend courses and professional development workshops while also building a professional network.
