‘Amidst the banal talk these days about networks as though they are inevitable in teacher practice, professional learning, technology and research, here at last is an informative and critical discussion. Carmichael offers a clear map through the multifarious forms, perspectives and uses of networking practices, and thoughtful approaches for those struggling with the ‘ducking and diving' processes of researching in, and about, networks in education.' Tara Fenwick, Professor of Education, University of Stirling, UK
