Abstract

New Internet and communication technologies (ICTs) facilitate collaboration and professional development among teachers. This qualitative case study examines how one teacher develops her "teacher identity" through blog posts written throughout her first year of teaching. Using a new literacies perspective, this study also seeks to describe how teachers use the tools afforded by new ICTs. Data consists of the sociolinguistic multimodal narrative blog posts made by a new teacher throughout the 2006-07 school year. Anticipated findings from this study include themes of pedagogy, classroom management, and role of the blog in teacher development.
