3. Networked Teacher
The Couros diagram of the networked teacher
illustrates the many ways that teachers
interact with students, colleagues, peers and
other resources, both human and digital
across the Internet. In each case, these
interactions are software and network-
enabled.
4. Software Applications
What is important is for networked teachers
to assemble a personal learning toolkit of
software applications that will allow them to
communicate with peers, assemble and
manage digital resources, publish and share
digital resources with others.
5. With these tools you'll be able to explore the
Internet, keep notes and capture ideas from
web sites you visit.

Toolkit
