This is a thoughtful summary of word designed to answer two questions:

  1. What types of patterns of interactions can we see in teachers and teacher candidates using a social learning platform?

"What was supposed to happen, of course, was that my students would be so empowered by this type of learning environment that they would throw off their shackles, so to speak, and embrace the opportunity of autonomy supportive learning. After all, that is exactly what happened to two cohorts of eighth graders when I did something similar in their biology class. At you might guess, for these teachers and teacher candidates, not so much."
