Online communities are created for people of the same interests or thoughts to get together and communicate through the use of the internet. It allows people from different areas to communicate in real time and get to know each other without the hassle of trying to schedule time to meet in a certain area. This can be very beneficial to teachers. This can allow teachers from different areas to discuss their teaching methods and different lesson plans that they have created and found to be effective. It could in turn be beneficial to the classroom by finding lesson plans that are more effective, efficient, and enhance the student's learning. As teachers we could all learn from each other, and online communities can be that tool that allows us to do that.
