There is a considerable pressure for teachers to understand the curriculum implications of network communities and to be able to participate in such communities ([Williams, 1997]). To respond to such imperatives, teachers must have appropriate knowledge, along with the technical and communications skills to participate creatively and critically in such communities. In turn, schools have an expectation that graduating teachers have such skills, and a critical understanding of the educational implications of network communities, so that they are able to take a leadership role in the professional development of peers and in the strategic planning of school resourcing and curriculum activity.
