This paper describes the types of support that teachers are accessing through the Social Network Site (SNS) ‘Facebook’. It describes six ways in which teachers support one another within online groups. It presents evidence from a study of a large, open group of teachers online over a twelve week period, repeated with multiple groups a year later over a one week period. The findings suggest that large open groups in SNSs can be a useful source of pragmatic advice for teachers but that these groups are rarely a place for reflection on or feedback about teaching practice.

- "Together we are better": Professional learning networks for teachers (2016, background): “However, prior research has suggested that teacher collaboration often does not result in deeper levels of learning such as co-construction of curriculum (OECD, 2014), and this tendency has been observed in some online spaces as well (e.g., Kelly & Antonio, 2016).”
- Early career teachers’ intentions to leave the profession: The complex relationships among preservice education, early career support, and job satisfaction (2019, background): “…Klusmann, Lüdtke, & Baumert, 2011): the formal support provided through a specified curriculum or structure such as mentoring or induction programs; and the informal social support that teachers provide to one another in various forms of “affect, aid and affirmation” (Kelly & Antonio, 2016).”
