Skills needed: collaborate and navigate the networks

New skills needed for teachers?Educators should be able to perceive the Internet
and its different networks as a rich resource
that can support and enhance learning and teaching of the future generations.
Message for policy makers: This type mindset should be explicitly supported by leadership at the institutional and system level!
