Abstract:
Communities of practice for teachers are emerging, where the issues of life long learning of in-service
teacher is supported by a collective effort and by applying modern methodologies and tools. The paper
describes how effective support to teachers communities is achieved by means of a Virtual Training
Center, that is the virtual meeting place of the community, which was built during the I*Teach pilot
project. Teachers who have similar goals, but few opportunities to physically meet each other and with
other project participants, may share information and discussions about the development phases that
precede and follow the actual application of the proposed methodologies and tools within their
classrooms.
