Which component creates a sustained peer network where teachers regularly learn about technology practices?

• A. Ongoing coaching
• B. Time for experimentation
• C. Communities of practice
• D. Measurable outcomes

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how teachers build ongoing, collaborative learning networks around technology use. Communities of practice are groups of professionals who share a passion or concern and meet regularly to learn from each other through real-world classroom experiences. They develop a shared repertoire—tools, case studies, lesson ideas, and best practices—and a mutual commitment to improving technology integration. This regular, collective engagement helps teachers stay up-to-date, refine their approaches, and spread effective practices across the group, creating a sustained peer network for continuous learning.

Ongoing coaching focuses on targeted, often individual support; time for experimentation offers space to try new things but doesn’t by itself create a persistent peer network; and measurable outcomes emphasize results rather than the collaborative learning culture and shared practice that communities of practice build.
