A Long-term Approach to Teachers' Legitimate Cultural Practices: Stability in a Time of Change?

Expressing Professional Identity through Blogging - A Case Study of Blogging in the Study of the Subject of Norwegian in Pre-School Teacher Education

Connections between professional identity, subject content and uses of ICT are thus drawn up.
Sunny Island. An Interactive Learning Environment to Promote Systems Thinking Education for Primary School Students

The proposed ILE…
