Why the Tellnet project?
To better understand
how
social learning networks can support
teachers' competence building

eTwinning reach=
number of eTwinners / number of teachers
On average, 2.64% of European teachers are eTwinners

Why do some teachers get the "eTwinning" virus
and are able to spread it around
- and others don’t?

eTwinners?

Example SNA How dependent is the eTwinning social network structure on a small core group of eTwinners?
“... no super-hubs who exclusively connect the clusters. Clusters are typically connected via several hubs. In conclusion, although
eTwinning is dependent on a core group, this is a large and well connected”

Different roles in the networkIn Figure 5a, the larger nodes indicate that those teachers play an important role as a “broker” in the network by connecting to different clusters of teaches who collaborate within different projects.
In Figure 5b, the larger nodes in the project cooperation network indicates that those teachers are part of more projects than the other teachers with the smaller nodes.

The Economist (Sep 2nd 2010)• “People are online what they are offline:
divided, and slow to build bridges.” • This seems to be the case for commerce,
news and social networks!
Zuckerman on Google data, 50 top websites in 30 countries
• Almost every country reads all but 5% of its news from domestic sources
Zuckerman on “Peace on Facebook”• Only 1-2% of the combined total of
friendships on Israeli and Palestinian accounts. For Greece and Turkey, his estimate was 0.1%
The internet was supposed to transcend colour, social identity and national borders…

• You have 8000 netbooks
to give out to 220 schools
in 6 European countries
to do a study on how netbooks are used in
education
• Timeline January 2010-July 2011
Mission impossible?
![Page 25: Teachers' collaboration networks as a PLE for professional development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b4fe904a7959633c8b4613/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
•Don’t just dump hardware to schools without
dedicated teacher training!
• Training teachers is expensive and time
consuming - time to adopt training into
classroom practices is long
• School shun away from disruptive stuff
What do we know from previous
experience and studies?

•Each school was asked to create a
netbook team of 5 teachers including an
ICT support person (if available)
•1:1 pedagogical scenarios to help teachers to “orchestrate
learning”
School-based netbook teams and

1:1 pedagogical scenarios
• Help teachers “orchestrate” the learning situations with netbooks
• The interplay :
– between different activities
– between individual and social processes• Short sequences alternating activities (e.g.
sequencing different activities) • Describe the organisationl conditions (material and
tools, classroom setting, estimated time, evaluation)• Step-by-step• Suggestion rather than prescriptive• Not subject-specific or detailed lesson plans
