Teachers early in their careers usually describe classroom teaching as complex and at times
overwhelming as they endeavor to put into practice their beliefs and understandings about
learning. For many, their university experiences seem removed from the reality of the
classroom, they struggle to make strong links between theory and practice and as the collegial
networks forged in the tutorial setting become less accessible, many teachers feel isolated from
familiar and trusted networks. In this study, iPods were used to extend an established learning
community beyond the university setting by creating audio files of
professional dialogue captured during workshops and uploading them to a repository for teachers to
access as needed. This chapter explores the process of capturing
and sharing dialogue around teaching reflections between and among early career teachers.
