Abstract
The concept of networking has become one of the key issues in the discussion about the development of schools in Finland. In this article we are outlining the characteristics of pedagogical networking in virtual school environments. Pedagogical networking means above all teachers exploiting decentralised knowledge, creating open, distance and co-operative learning environments and being an active partner in network-based teamwork. Teachers also need network knowledge about maintenance of interaction using various media in a pedagogically meaningful way. These questions are further researched in the LIVE (Learning in a Virtual School Environment) project It aims to develop pedagogical networking models for pre- and in-service teacher education.
